PiF Fifth Annual Conference: Moving beyond leaflets
11 March 2010, Aston Villa Football Club, Birmingham B6.

The last decade has seen some far reaching changes in the way information is developed, produced and shared. There was a time when information was all about the leaflet and access to these was through ‘gatekeepers’ like GPs and nurses. All that is changing. Although there is still a need for the paper based written word, far reaching changes in technology are now fundamentally changing the way people access and use information. Information producers are changing too - user-led, audience specific, multi-format resources are now the norm for many.

This fifth annual PiF conference looks at that changes that are taking place in consumer health information and will help you to:

• Learn about current national policy on consumer health information and plans for the future
• Examine the Information Standard and have your questions answered
