BCC leaflets

Hello to BCC

I would like to know if any input is given by patients to your leaflets before they are finalised and published.

I have recently had the misfortune to handle this:

A confident choice: breast protheses, bras and clothes after surgery (BCC123

The front is a photograph of a woman smiling as she shoves her prosthesis in her bra - smile for the camera? It really turned my stomach to think that you or anyone else would think this a cause to smile and it is surely such a sham. Even my BCN stuck the leaflet out of sight of patients, no wonder, bad taste in my opinion.
