What's in the library
Here are downloads of tips and guidance, plus we’ve added some helpful documents, so you don’t have to search for them. To save you time, we’ve focused on documents which answer questions that arose during PVI workshops (especially if they come with a good diagram).
Why is it grouped
To make it easier to find what matters to you, information is sorted into three groups: information for patients; carers; and patient groups. Don’t like being put into a box? Select ‘All’ to see everything on the site.
