    Hi all,
    Has anyone got a resource or information where I can find a patient information leaflet or similar advising them of the risks of the cardiac water cooler unit issue? Our quality and safety team were wanting something in place in case the local media picks up on this story and we get enquiries from them or past cardiac patients, or in the event we have to do a look back. We would of course reference any source but mainly we would just like to see how this has been approached for the public.

    Regards

    Ruth

    Hi Ruth

    Queensland Health has some patient and GP information sheets. They also have template letters you could request copies of if you want to do a look back.

    Cheers
