Leaflet Stress Test · free
The free Leaflet Stress Test checks reading age, sentence structure and source references. Its optional AI-generated review explores different reader perspectives. This is illustrative feedback, not testing with patients or clinical sign-off.
You review and approve before publication.
About 15 minutes. Five agreements, each with a plain-terms summary, signed online. If we prepare your draft, you join the same queue of three pilots; a ready-made pathway needs no queue.

A neutral guide to the UK’s only independently-assessed quality mark for health information — what it certifies, and what good patient information looks like.
Questions before you start
No. Patients open the guide from a secure link or QR code given by their surgeon, clinic or hospital, without creating an account.
Your clinical team. The draft is prepared in The Helm; patients see only guidance your team has reviewed and approved before publication.
From your audited outcomes where you have them, and from the literature where you do not. Each figure says which, and cites it.
No. Patient Compass Suite provides patient information before and after surgery. It sits alongside your existing clinical systems. Medical records, appointments and clinical correspondence remain in those systems.
For patients
Your surgeon, clinic or hospital gives you an access link or QR code. Open it to follow the guidance at your own pace. You do not need to create an account.
If you have not received a link, ask your clinical team.
Start with one pathway
Request a 20-minute call, or sign the pilot agreements online. Either way we prepare the first draft from your approved material, guidelines you select or approve, or both, unless you adopt a ready-made pathway. You review and approve before publication.
No card. No automatic renewal.
Your 90 days begin on the day we set up your workspace if you adopt a ready-made pathway, or on the day we deliver your draft if we prepare one for you, never when you enquire or sign. A call request starts a conversation, not a contract; signing online is the only step that binds you, and nothing is charged either way.
