The aim of this quality improvement project was to improve patients' knowledge about their vitamin B12 deficiency by developing an information leaflet and engaging nursing staff in providing this educational tool to patients with the condition. Following two 'plan, do, study, act' cycles to test and improve implementation of the leaflet, the nursing team met the goal of 100% compliance with providing educational information to patients. An increase in patient knowledge following provision of the leaflet was predicted, and achieved.
