NOHC is committed to advancing research programmes that enhance patients’ diagnosis, treatment options and quality of life. As part of this commitment, your Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon may request your permission to collect certain data for research purposes.
The Consultant will provide a detailed explanation of what data will be collected, how it will be used and why it is important for research. It is important to note that all data collected is anonymous and will be kept confidential. It is completely up to you to decide whether or not you are comfortable with this and a refusal will not affect your care in any way.
If you have any questions or concerns about participating in a research study, please do not hesitate to discuss these with your Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon. They will be able to provide you with more information and help you make an informed decision.
NOHC became a teaching hospital in 1921, espousing the highest standards in healthcare. Today, we remain committed to providing quality healthcare services to patients. Your Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon may request permission to involve students in your consultations or care. By allowing students to participate in your care, you are helping to train the next generation of healthcare professionals.
It is completely up to you to decide whether or not you are comfortable with this and a refusal will not affect your care in any way. It is important to note that experienced healthcare professionals closely supervise all students involved in patient care, and your privacy and confidentiality will always be respected.
