Operation Information: The home of online Patient Information Leaflets

Undergoing surgery is a daunting prospect. It can help to understand what’s going to happen on the day. Lots of resources are online but they can be difficult to find and it can be hard to know who to trust. That’s why we’ve collated online Patient Information Leaflets (PILs) published by trustworthy sources including NHS trusts, boards and national surgical societies. We’ve organised them here in one place so there’s one less thing you have to worry about before your surgery.

We are a volunteer, non-profit organisation that believe patients should be provided with relevant, understandable and detailed information to let them make the best choices regarding surgery. You can learn more about who we are here, or let us know how we could do better.

Operation Information has been made possible through support and funding by London North West University Healthcare Trust.
