Using these
Take them. That is the point.
These are published under a licence permitting translation and adaptation for non-commercial use, with attribution. You do not need to ask us first, and you do not need to tell us afterwards — though we would like it if you did.
Ask and we will send you the editable source files, including the layered artwork, so a translation does not have to be typed over an image.
-
Print on anything
Every sheet has a mono version that survives a worn-out field laser printer without losing meaning.
-
Translation-ready
Text sits on its own layer with room for languages that run longer than English. We will review a translation for clinical accuracy free of charge.
-
Tested with low-literacy readers
Each sheet is field-tested with the people it is for before publication. Two of these are on their fourth revision because of it.
