Patient information leaflet

Patient information leaflets (PILs) are leaflets containing information about medical conditions, available services, and treatments.

Accessibility
The X-PIL service, launched in the UK in November 2005, aimed to replicate these leaflets in more accessible formats, including Braille, large print and on CD-ROM. It is a venture by the Royal National Institute of the Blind, the National Library for the Blind and Datapharm Communications.
