Multi-language Medication Patient Information Leaflets – led by Hayley Griffin, Monash Health

The project aimed to develop leaflets that would provide patients with a clear and easy to understand information leaflets for commonly used groups of medicines (e.g. antibiotics, analgesics), in the top ten languages spoken in Victoria.  

Five leaflets are now available and are designed to print double-sided with the translated version on one side, and English on the reverse side.
