This is the Foot Health Priority Setting Partnership survey.

Transcription

1 This is the Foot Health Priority Setting Partnership survey. Having healthy feet is very important in allowing us to do the things we want to do in our everyday lives. Sadly, our feet can develop many problems that can sometimes stop us from doing the things that we enjoy or even just walking without them causing us pain. There are many things that we can do to make our feet better, but often we do not know exactly how these treatments work. We want you to tell us what questions you have about anything to do with foot health and the treatments we use when we have foot problems. This survey will allow you to show us which questions are most important to you. If you want to read more about the Foot Health Priority Setting Partnership or would like to download and complete a paper version of this survey you can visit our website by clicking on this link: In addition, at the end of this survey is a contact address for Dr Andrea Graham, the Foot Health Priority Setting Partnership Co-ordinator. The survey will close for responses by the 31st January, Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey.

2 Who are we? We are a group of people who work in health care with an interest in foot health. We are people who help to look after other peoples feet or we are people who have had foot problems ourselves. What are we doing? We want to find out what questions you have about foot health, to help people who have foot problems. What do you need to do? Think about your feet. We want any questions that will make a difference to people who have problems with their feet. We want questions about people and the things that can be done to help look after foot problems. Anyone who has any problem with their feet can take part. It does not matter how old you are, who you are or where you come from. What will happen with your questions? Where the questions have not been answered already, they will be included in a list of research ideas. Once we have this list, we will ask patients, carers and health professionals to tell us how important they think these questions are. How will the Foot Health Priority Setting Partnership (PSP) use my information? There is no need for you to tell us any contact details unless you would like to take part in the next phase of the process or you want to know about the survey results. Your questions will be kept separate from any personal details that you provide, so that we will not know who you are in any of the survey results. We will keep the information that you give us safe.

3 This survey is in two parts: Part 1 is for you to tell us what your questions are about foot health. Your questions can be about anything that is important to you and that you think are unanswered. Part 2 is about you. This is so you can tell us a little bit of information about yourself, so that we can make sure that many different kinds of people take part.

4 Part 1 your questions Do you have a question about foot health that you think has not been answered? You questions might be about the kind of things listed here: What do you want to know about feet and How we decide what is wrong? How we can make things better? How we can stop things going wrong with your feet? What might happen if nothing is done about a foot problem? You might only have one question or you might have questions that come under each one in the list. This does not matter, even one question is important. To help you, here are some example questions that have been asked for other conditions: What treatments help reduce falls in people with Parkinsons Disease? If my child did daily breathing exercises would it help to control their asthma? Why do patients want physiotherapy and where do they find out about physiotherapy services?
