From appointment letters to test results and medicine warnings, blind and partially sighted people lose out on getting vital information in a format they can read.

Those of us who regularly get our health information in a format we cannot read have a simple task - to tell the NHS services we use that we need accessible information.

Out of the 97 per cent of blind or partially sighted people who felt accessible information was important, only five per cent said they routinely requested it.

The RNIB have developed a short resource pack to give individuals and campaigners the information and tools they need to be able to do this.
