Open fractures tend to be very graphic and because of this we decided to use basic line and tint medical illustrations to illustrate the surgical procedures. The use of simple medical illustrations in patient information provides a graphical representation to which patients are able to obtain, process, and understand their surgery and rehabilitation care.

All patient information within the Trust follows corporate branding. We use a lot of white space and the use of color to separate the relevant information to make it easier to read and more accessible.
