It is always good to see the NHS consulting with patients before developing a policy, in this case about implantable medical devices. Many of our members may have been fitted with lens replacements, pacemakers, vascular shunts or similar. If you have had such device fitted by the NHS since 2015 and would be willing to speak to the team at Healthcare Improvement Scotland either online or by phone before the end of August, your experience can be used to help improve patient safety and to help other patients make informed choices about their treatment and care.
If you are interested, please read the poster below and contact either Karen or Denise for a chat.
