At the time of publication, Nova Scotia Health pamphlet creators (authors) will be asked if they would like to apply a Creative Commons licence to their pamphlet. Please review the Creative Commons guide before agreeing to license your work. When your pamphlet is ready to be published, the Patient Education Team will send you an online approval form. Indicate your licensing preference within this form.
