The Information Standard
The Information Standard Scheme was developed by the Department
of Health to improve the quality of information available to the
public and to help people make informed choices about their
healthcare.
To achieve certification by the Information Standard Scheme, we
had to show that our information is accurate, impartial, balanced,
evidence-based, accessible and well-written.
The Scheme covers health care information we produce for:
- Men with prostate cancer, their friends, families and
carers
- Men at risk of developing prostate cancer, their friends,
families and carers
Our Information web pages are also covered by the
Scheme, with the exception of the Personal Stories
pages. You can find out more about the Scheme on the Information Standard website.
We are responsible for the accuracy of the information on our
website. Neither the scheme operator nor the scheme owner are
responsible for any costs, losses or direct or indirect damages or
costs arising from inaccurate information or missing information on
this website.
