Healthtalkonline and Youth Healthtalk are evidence-based collections of patient experiences, discussing themes such as reactions to diagnosis, effect on work or social life, treatment options or side-effects. Youth Healthtalk focuses on young people's concerns about health and illness.
Both websites are produced by the charity Database of Individual Patient Experience (DIPEx) and use rigorous and systematic research methods to collect and analyse interviews with people in the UK from all ethnic groups. These accounts, in video, audio or written format, ensure that a full range of patients' perspectives are presented.
You can encourage patients and their families to visit these websites to help them make informed decisions about a particular condition or illness, treatment options and support.
