PIF is...
The Patient Information Forum is the organisation for consumer health information in the UK. If you communicate with patients and the public about their health; this is your organisation. We campaign to ensure that health information is central to high quality, patient centred care and we help producers and providers to develop high quality information for their patients and the public.
