Emergency department factsheets
provide condition specific health and medical information for people attending the emergency department.
They are designed to assist communication
between emergency department clinicians and patients and/or carers.
How to use these factsheets
- Clinicians are encouraged to use emergency department factsheets as a communication tool in their conversation with the patient and/or their carers.
- A clinician should give the factsheet to the patient when they are discharged from the emergency department.
- Some factsheets can be given to patients when they arrive in the emergency department.
- Notes can be made on the factsheets by the clinician, patient and/or carer, to personalise the information.
- These factsheets are available online and some
will be available in languages other than English by December 2008.
- You can order pre-printed factsheets for
your emergency department or download
