You will see a QR code graphic (right) which, when scanned, will also take you directly to the relevant document on this website.

Below the graphic there is a short URL which can be typed into a web browser, and will take you to the same document (if no QR code scanner is available).

This graphic also appears on the print versions of the relevant patient information leaflet, from where it can also be scanned.

The QR code graphic can be deployed to:

  • patient (or clinician) correspondence;
  • posters in your department; and
  • your own information leaflets.

(i.e. anywhere where the recipient may wish to download the document to a mobile device and read it off-line).

To save the QR code for your own use, right click the graphic, then select the option to save/download it to your computer
