title: Evaluating a patient teaching programme.
abstract: Patient teaching is an essential element of care that should involve the multidisciplinary team. Patients and their significant others must have access to patient teaching programmes in order that they may make informed choices. The design of the programme must be considered carefully in order to meet the needs of patients and their significant others. Patients clearly benefit from well-organised and appropriately planned patient teaching programmes.
