As a response to hospitals contemplating the production or revision of Nurse Training School brochures and staff information booklets, it was decided to undertake a survey of the design and content of present publications and the extent to which they are being used. This survey disclosed a wide variety in style, cost and circulation of brochures and revealed the fact that only a minority of hospitals provide information booklets or leaflets specifically for the benefit of newly appointed nursing staff. The findings of the survey are given in this report together with some comments and suggestions on future needs and possibilities. The appendices contain examples of what seem to be some of the best features of the brochures and booklets examined.
