Questionnaires to improve our service
We might ask you to take part in our clinical outcomes programme. This helps us improve our service and offer the best treatments.
We ask you to fill in extra questionnaires about your health and quality of life, before and after your treatment. These are called patient reported outcome measures (PROMs). Your feedback helps us measure the outcome of your treatment at different times. We encourage you to take part, however if you do not want to, it will not affect your care.
The information we collect includes your:
- name
- sex
- date of birth
- address
Your data will be stored confidentially and safely. Any reports published will be anonymous.
Some of your data will also be shared on national databases, such as:
- The British Spine Registry
- The National Joint Registry
- The British Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Registry
- The National Hip Fracture Database

Research and clinical trials
Research is vital to improving the care that you receive when you're unwell. You can help improve healthcare by taking part in research studies at our Trust. During your appointment, ask your healthcare professional about research. They'll be happy to tell you about research studies you could be eligible to join.
