healthtalk.org shares reliable health information from patients, for patients. Find out about what to expect from a range of health issues, by listening to the stories of those who've experienced it first-hand.
The thousands of video clips on healthtalk.org are taken from interviews with Oxford University researchers. The website is accredited with the Information Standard and run by a charity (DIPEx- registered charity #1087019). Our aims are:
- To share the experience of illness or a health problem and to provide support for patients and carers who may feel that they are on their own.
- To answer the questions and problems that matter to people when they are ill or have a health-related problem and to help them make informed decisions about their healthcare.
- Provide reliable, evidence-based information about illnesses and health problems
- Be an educational resource for health professionals
- Promote better communication between patients and health professionals
