ERELLE Patient Brochure: Informing and Supporting Your Patients
The ERELLE patient brochure is an educational resource designed to support discussions during consultations. It allows patients to revisit essential information afterwards and prepare any questions they would like to ask.
Objectives of the Brochure
- **Explain the treatment clearly**
Introduce ERELLE and the role of CMC in the proposed treatment plan, using accessible language.
- **Set realistic expectations**
Explain the treatment’s objectives, limitations and variability of results, without promising immediate or guaranteed outcomes.
- **Support informed decision-making**
Provide balanced information about expected benefits, risks, contraindications and alternatives to discuss with the treating doctor.
- **Prepare patients for their treatment journey**
Outline what sessions generally involve, the importance of an individual treatment plan, and pre- and post-treatment instructions.
- **Facilitate follow-up care**
Include the clinic’s contact details and explain when patients should contact their doctor.
### A Complement to Your Consultation
The brochure supports your medical explanation but does not replace an individual assessment, personalised information or the informed consent process.
**Its purpose is to help patients understand the proposed treatment, ask questions and make an informed decision.**
