Patient Information Forum

As well as the 星空视频 working directly with Health Charites we are committed to membership of the Patient Information Forum.

The Patient Information Forum (PIF) is an independent organisation that represents more than 300 organisations across the 星空视频, voluntary, academic, freelance and commercial sectors. Their expert guidance on the production of high-quality health information supports an improved healthcare experience for patients and the public.

PIF help their members to provide high-quality, clearly communicated, evidence-based healthcare information. Their aim is to empower people to make informed decisions about their health and improve outcomes. Their philosophy is that health information is a therapy in its own right and should be accessible to all.

The 星空视频 are members of the Patient Information Forum, which provide annual training for our staff and taster training for members together with newsletters and access to forums and expertise.

The 星空视频 are also proud to have participate in the annual PIF TICK audit to be recognised as trusted providers of high quality health information.

Best practice guidance: Supporting patient organisations to report industry funding

The 星空视频 Code of Practice places requirements on industry to publish annual lists of payments to patient organisations, and we endorse this approach. Currently, there is no similar requirement for those patient organisations in receipt of grants or funds from industry. In response, the 星空视频 has put together some advice for local disclosure mechanisms, based on current practice among industry.
