Co-designing accessible and inclusive patient information resources for gastrointestinal endoscopy using Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Patients undergoing GI endoscopy can experience anxiety before their procedure, for numerous different reasons, including ineffective patient education resources received beforehand. Paper-based information leaflets are insufficient to accommodate for the diverse way in which people access, consume and process information. Public and patient involvement (PPI) and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) are two well-described pedagogical principles that strive to optimise patient-centred care and inclusivity.

Objectives

Our aim was to apply these principles to design more effective and accessible patient education materials, improving the health literacy of our patients. Working with patient partners, we identified the need to develop high-quality and trustable video
