The aim of the survey was to collect information on patient education at the Wollongong Hospital. Two hundred and one randomly selected former patients were interviewed by telephone or in their homes. The results suggest that communication between the Wollongong Hospital staff and their patients was effective with over three-quarters of the patients interviewed reporting a full understanding of their diagnosis, medication, health problems and prognosis. Nevertheless, there were apparently some problem areas. These are discussed and recommendations made to overcome them.
