Join HealthWatch's Research Project: What helps patients while they are waiting for operations?
North Somerset HealthWatch is conducting a project to look at how individuals wait for elective operations for hip and knee replacements.
North Somerset HealthWatch is conducting a project to look at how individuals wait for elective operations for hip and knee replacements. This includes: what may affect individuals waiting for a planned procedure; investigating what has helped individuals wait well; what is available for people waiting for planned orthopaedic surgery; how well people feel they are supported, and how individuals feel they could be better supported whilst waiting for surgery.
The aim of the project is to supply General Practices with useful recommendations on how the service could aid patients further whilst waiting for their operation.

If you are waiting for a knee or hip replacement and would like to give your feedback on your experience as you wait for your operation, HealthWatch North Somerset are hosting a focus group.
Focus Group Details: Tuesday 27th February 2024 at Langford Surgery
