informed consent

How do we collect this data?
Patients will be provided with access to an online platform to record their PROMS, and encouraged to engage actively with it. This data allows us to understand the impact our interventions have had on patients, to drive further improvements to care, and to provide evidence of our performance to regulators and insurers.
