About The Information Standard elearning Programme

The Information Standard is a quality standard based on best practice principles to produce evidence based, functional, consumer health and care information.

This elearning programme comprises two parts: firstly, an overview that will give you an introduction to what the Standard is, why it is important and why it might be relevant to your role.

Secondly, split across two sessions, a more in-depth look at the Principles of the Standard. These are aimed at organisations that produce information. Again, it outlines what the Principles are, why they are important and will help organisations to think about how they might apply the quality statements in practice. These sessions may also be useful to people that commission such information to ensure that their providers are using best practice in their processes and will help you to think about what good looks like.
