Easy-to-understand health information

Easy-to-understand health information is information that uses very easy words with pictures and is suitable for those with a low reading age, learning disabilities or who have trouble reading English.

Easyhealth.org.uk has over 500 easy-to-understand health information leaflets about common health conditions and concerns. There are also videos you can watch and each pamphlet has audio available.

Important

The information on easyhealth.org.uk is for people living in the United Kingdom and it isn't always relevant for New Zealand conditions. If you're worried about your own health, make an appointment with your GP.
