Sharing medication information with patients.

Prompted by its user members, the Salford adult mental health services clinical audit group decided to review the information on medication available to clients. Here Mick Renoden, a service user on the clinical audit group with a 22 year history of contact with mental health services, describes his own experiences with clinicians and medication. Then Jeff Withington reports the results of a survey of users' views, which revealed a strong demand for information about medication that could be easily understood and trusted, and led to the production of a range of leaflets.
