This guide is the new, fully revised second edition of 'Practicalities of Producing Patient Information' (PoPPi), which was published by the King's Fund in 2000. Fully updated in line with the latest developments in new media such as CD ROMs and the internet, the guide also shows how to use traditional media, such as print, to the best advantage. The guide offers health professionals in the public, commercial and voluntary sectors advice on: what to consider and where to start when producing patient information; how to manage the stages of the patient information production process; how to evaluate and update information once it is produced.
