Booklets · Print or save as PDF

Something to hold in the waiting room.

A phone is a bad place to read when you are frightened, and worse to hand to a clinician. Every booklet here is built for paper: fixed page sizes, running headers, wide margins to write in. Print it, or save it as a PDF and email it to whoever needs it.

How to get a PDF

  1. 1 Open the booklet you want — it renders as real pages, not a scrolling web page.
  2. 2 Press Print / PDF at the top. Your browser's print dialog opens.
  3. 3 Choose “Save as PDF” as the destination instead of a printer. That is your file.

Page geometry is fixed in the document, so what you get on paper matches what you see. Letter and A4 both work without reflowing the layout.

Before you rely on one

Every booklet is version 0.1 draft and none has clinical sign-off yet. They are safe to read and safe to take to an appointment as a prompt — they are not a substitute for what your own team tells you.
