Date Question Reply
14/06/2007 I can't select for the correct label size on my printer so I waste labels and the translation doesn't appear where it should.  Updated the Translabel download to allow the user to select for the correct label size for the printer. This has been uploaded to the web today.

Users will be asked if they wish to download the update - please select yes at this point (installation takes 1 minute)

20/02/2007 Request from Devon LPC for Large Text Labels to be provided to help patients with visual impairment and pharmacy compliance with DDA. Labels prepared and available via the website. Label printing application is also updated to include the changes. Users will be asked if they wish to download the update - please select yes at this point (installation takes 1 minute)
12/12/2006 How come you make it available free of charge? My work as a pharmacist has made me realise that for any therapy to be successful it requires the understanding and engagement of the patient. There is a significant population who may not speak English as a first language and any improvement in understanding how to take medicines is in both the professional and personal interest.

The site is free of charge as I feel it is important to have good information freely available to fellow professionals. If you would like to make a donation to the running of the site via PayPal then please feel free to!

 

11/12/2006 How do we know that the translations are accurate? The labels have been written and proof read by the kind contributors in the acknowledgements section after requesting assistance in the Pharmaceutical Journal in the UK.

I have tried to have at least two people involved in the each set of labels as a quality control. Please read the terms of use for more information.

10/12/2006 When is the site due to go live? The site is planned for going live in January 2007 and will be advertised via the Pharmaceutical Journal LPCs and PCTs in the UK. Other contributors to the site will be advised of the launch date and are welcomed to promote the site in their respective countries.
