Please send details of international patient information quality systems

8 April, 2025

Dear All,

I am conducting an informal mapping exercise to see which countries have a system in place for assessing the quality of patient information. In the United Kingdom, the Patient Information Forum has developed the PIF TICK Certification (https://pifonline.org.uk/pif-tick/), which is an independently-assessed quality mark for health information.

I would be very interested in knowing if other countries have a similar system in place. Please contact me directly with details and links please - caroline.debrun@ukhsa.gov.uk<mailto:caroline.debrun@ukhsa.gov.uk>

With many thanks, from,

Caroline
