Patient resource library

Our library of consumer information provides a variety of resources about:

  • Health conditions
  • Treatments
  • How to look after yourself after being discharged
  • The services available at Barwon Health

These resources are written by Barwon Health staff and are reviewed by consumers through the Written Information Simply Explained (WISE) Committee.

Staff, in partnership with the WISE Committee, aim to develop clear, easy-to-understand, and helpful information for consumers.

Remember that written information needs to be used in conjunction with advice from the health professionals looking after you. If you can’t find the information you are looking for, please contact them for further advice and support.

If you need to access this information in a language other than English, the following websites are helpful:
