Evidence-based healthcare information
Here at DRWF, we are committed to providing high-quality, clearly communicated, evidence-based healthcare information.
We do this to ensure that people with diabetes can make informed decisions about their health and improve outcomes, safe in the knowledge that our information is trustworthy and reliable.
To this end, we are members of the Patient Information Forum (PIF). An independent, not-for-profit organisation that represents more than 300 organisations across the NHS, voluntary, academic, freelance and commercial sectors.
PIF provides expert guidance on the production of high-quality health information to support an improved healthcare experience for patients and the public, and run the UK-wide quality mark for health information, the PIF TICK.
We believe that trusted health information empowers patients and carers, supporting informed decision-making and self-management, and ultimately improving health outcomes.

One of our main charitable activities is the provision of information to enable informed decision making. It’s important that the people we provide information and support to are confident that our literature and advice is reliable and trustworthy.
