Summary
The Patients Association have worked with the Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) programme to create a short three-minute animated video for patients about the benefits of elective surgical hubs. This animation was created by drawing on the experiences of patients who chose the option to have their planned surgery at a surgical hub.
Content
The Patient Association worked closely with this group of patients to understand what information they needed to make an informed decision about opting for a surgical hub and what they felt would improve the overall process, including scheduling of appointments, and travelling to a surgical hub which may be in a different location to their local hospital.
By watching this video you’ll learn about the purpose of surgical hubs to provide more capacity for non-emergency surgery, helping to reduce waiting times for your operation. The video also explains what is involved if you are offered the option to have your surgery at a hub and presents the experiences of patients who have used a hub.
