The information on each topic covers such matters as definition of themedical condition, the signs and symptoms, the causes, the health management,dietary advice and signposting. The key elements behind this are not only toprovide excellent health information free of charge but also to encourage thepatient to participate in the management of their own well-being and health.This will be a key factor in the future of health care in the UK and for thefuture of the NHS.
