The Aspergillus Trust held annual competitions for medical students to design information leaflets for patients. It was hoped that this would improve awareness of these illnesses amongst the medical profession as well as result in useful leaflets for patients. The leaflets are available for download here and will also be made available to post to individuals for the cost of the postage e.g. one leaflet would cost £2 to send to USA.
