NHS choice framework and patient information
The Department of Health has published The NHS Choice Framework: what choices are available to me in the NHS? The framework brings together information about patients’ rights to choice about their health care, where to get more information to help make a choice, and how they can complain if they have not been offered choice. In addition there are a series of information leaflets which set out patients’ rights to choice in healthcare, where to find information to help choose, and how to complain if choice isn’t offered.

Ebola virus disease is a serious viral infection that originated in sub-Saharan Africa. No one has caught Ebola from someone else in the UK. For most people visiting countries in sub-Saharan Africa, the risk of exposure to the Ebola virus is minimal. Read more about the ebola virus on the NHS.uk website.
The Zika virus is a disease which is mainly spread by mosquitoes. For most people it's a very mild infection and is not harmful, but it may be more serious for pregnant women, as there's evidence it causes birth defects. Zika does not naturally occur in the UK. Zika outbreaks have been reported in the Pacific region, South and Central America, the Caribbean, Africa, and parts of south and southeast Asia. Click here to see country specific risk of Zika.
