The BMA Patient Information Awards (PIA) were established in 1997 to encourage excellence in the production and dissemination of accessible, well-designed and clinically balanced patient information.
165 resources were submitted to the PIA this year, nearly 20% more than last year. To have received two Highly Commended certificates was therefore a significant achievement, bringing the total number of commended LJMC publications to 21.
The two titles were about aspects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy regimes. They were produced by the LJMC Information team, working with the specialist Head & Neck cancer team. As with all our publications, the team received input from a range of people including doctors, radiographers, nurses and patients.
The chemoradiotherapy leaflet ultimately went on to achieve the special award for resources produced by an NHS trust, one of ten special awards presented by Professor Sir Al Aynsley-Green Kt at the awards ceremony in September.
Congratulations to everyone who contributed to these publications.
