Patient Information Leaflets - D
The Trust has a number of patient information leaflets, which are available on this website.
The Trust leaflets are in Adobe PDF format, to view or save to your device Adobe Acrobat reader is required. Alternative formats e.g. audio, large print, Braille and other languages are available upon request. For more information please contact the department or ward you are attending. Please note: EXTERNAL leaflets are not produced by Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and as such the content is outside of our control. The entire patient information leaflets section is continually being updated and, as a result some information may not be current.

We are currently updating our patient information leaflet library. During this time, a small number of leaflets may be temporarily unavailable from Monday 11th August for approximately three weeks.
