When educating and informing patients, it is necessary to think about the clarity of the given information, taking into account that a large part of population has low health literacy and it may be difficult to understand more specialized information. European Association of Urology (EAU) is creating a website with factually correct and well understandable information, which is currently becoming available also to Czech patients. The possibilities for their use are very wide and offer Czech health professionals and patients a very effective tool for improving information and thus the course of treatment.

Keywords: communication, health literacy, patient information.
