Dear all
Our project has raised a risk regarding the small font size of the summary printout. We print off a opy to give to teh patinet and have already had complaints from patients about this and have requested that Sunquest modify the system accordingly
Sunquest have requsted that I post on this forum, as they want to establish whether this a local or a national issue
The NHS Toolkit for producing patient information states -The font size should be between 12 point (minimum) and 14 point. However, ifyou are providing information for elderly people or people with sight difficulties,you should always use 14 point or larger.
Have you had any issues with patients complaining about the small font size?
Thanks
John
