Translated health and independence resources

These resources have been developed by senior clinical nurse advisors. Each resource has been co-designed with clients and has been written using the principles of health literacy.

The free ‘Me and My’ resources for clients have been translated into the community languages – Arabic, Croatian, Chinese simplified and traditional, Greek, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Macedonian, Malay, Samoan, Spanish, Turkish and Vietnamese.

These self-care sheets provide nurses or clinicians with strategies, information, and practical examples to actively support a person to be independent with all or aspects of their care.

Topics include:

• Catheter management
• Stoma care
• Wound care
• Medicine reminders
• Sharp waste disposal

To accompany these self-care sheets, two guides have been developed.

• Supporting Independence – A guide for clinicians
• Supporting Independence with medicines – A guide for nurses 

The suite of resources can be located on the Bolton Clarke website.
