  • Patient information leaflet - this answers comon questions the patient may have around the issue, as well as giving advice, signposting to further help, and giving details of alternatives to driving.
  • Local mobility leaflet - this gives details of the services available from the local mobility centre.
  • Template letter - a template that can be used by either clinicians or patients, to inform the DVLA of a diagnosis.
