The translated patient information on these pages focuses on reproductive, emotional and sexual health, in line with the work carried out by the Sandyford Initiative.
The information has been compiled by the Sandyford Library & Information Service.
This is a primarily a resource for use by health professionals and we would advise that you always check the english-language version of a leaflet for accuracy BEFORE passing on the alternative language version to a patient. Some of the information on these pages are from non-UK sources and therfore contact details will need to be deleted and sometimes prescribing information, medical procedures, legal information will not be relevant to the UK.
