Comment on this module
 


Copying letters to patients can appear to be a straightforward, practical challenge. However, letter sharing emerges as a complex process of information exchange.

Letter sharing changes the nature of the relationship between clinician and patient.

This module has been designed to support health care teams who want to share letters.

Please let us know if it’s useful and send in any experiences you feel would help others.

“Patients should receive a copy of any letter written about their care or treatment by one healthcare professional to another.”
