Patient Information Prescriptions

The information prescriptions service (IPS)

The information prescriptions service (IPS) refers specifically to the website available from NHS Choices which hosts the national cancer information pathways and enables the production of information prescriptions (IPs) using their content. The IPS provides one option for how an IP can be personalised and consistently delivered to patients and their carers at different stages of their care pathway.

Learning resources including a quick 'how-to' guide and more in-depth training materials have been developed to help you get started.  Please refer to this section before using the IPS.
