Having established itself as the UK standard for quality patient information, EIDO Healthcare is now going global with its solutions for informed consent.
EIDO has always been responsive to the needs of the UK healthcare sector when it comes to patient information. Only recently it updated its complete library to reflect WHO recommendations on correct site surgery, as well as NICE guidelines on infection control.
To ensure it stays at the forefront of these issues, EIDO has now established an International Editorial Board (IEB). The role of the IEB will be to advise EIDO on country-specific regulations and guidelines. This will further ensure that in its rigorous development process of new patient information, EIDO will continue to build its reputation as leaders in informed consent.
