German term

der Würde des Patienten nicht gerecht werden

German to English Medical Medical: Health Care
A patient information sheet is criticised for its style:
"sie ist in einem Stil abgefasst, der der Würde der Patienten nicht gerecht wird"

I would appreciate any suggested translations.
So far I have thought of 'patronise' or 'condescend' but I am not sure that I am on the right track...

Peer comment(s):

agree Ken Cox : good direct translation -- 'patronising' or 'condescending' is too much interpretation IMHO (there are lots of ways to violate a patient's dignity)
