Informally, each time the nurse interacts with the patient they can provide information; formally, training on specific medications, or procedures; or explaining to the family situations about upcoming tests, operations, or expectations, can be most valuable. Formal educational opportunities may also present themselves in groups (seminars for heart or kidney patients for example) that allow specific sets of information to be disseminated to larger groups for efficiency, human or other resource purposes, and to allow patients to have a greater sense of a peer or support group for their specific need (Falvo).

Hospital staff and seminars; specialists, nurse or practitioner experts
Governmental agencies that sponsor seminars provide written information (e.g. Department of Health).
Private agencies that provide written information, sponsor seminars, and advocate education (e.g. American Heart Association, Lung Association, etc.).
