The EIDO team were pleased to meet former Health Minister Lord Darzi at the 2010 Arab Health Conference.  Lord Darzi, who has pioneered many surgical technologies and techniques, was keen to discuss some of the challenges facing the NHS, including the issue of valid patient consent.  He showed a particular interest in EIDO’s informed consent patient information leaflets, and recommended that it ‘keeps up the good work’.  This is certainly what EIDO intend to do, with now almost 300 leaflets in its patient information library, INFOrm4U.

Here at EIDO we are always keen to get into the festive spirit now that Christmas is just around the corner!  So we are pleased to announce that we are now offering 30% and 50% discounts on our newly-accredited be INFOrMED training resource.  Please contact us for further details.

EIDO Healthcare is delighted to announce that its online medico-legal training resource, be INFOrMED, is now accredited with 12 CPD (Continuing Professional Development) points.  These are awarded by the ASGBI (Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland) upon successful completion of be INFOrMED.  Updated annually to reflect the latest medico-legal circumstances and interspersed with real case scenarios and self-test questions, be INFOrMED is proving itself to be an invaluable resource for all levels of clinical staff at nearly 50 NHS Trusts.

EIDO Healthcare, who produce patient information leaflets for informed consent, have developed with the Fitness Industry Association (FIA) a new Health Commitment Statement™. This is designed to shift responsibility for personal health from a fitness or leisure facility to the user. The HCS sets out what fitness or leisure facility operators and users can reasonably expect from each other in regards to the health of the user.
