What is this study about?
Travelling back to the hospital for a check-up can be hard. This trial compares post-operative follow-up at a local community clinic with follow-up at the hospital.
Who can take part?
Adults recovering from planned surgery who live more than 30 minutes from the hospital.
What is involved?
You will be offered your follow-up appointments either at your local clinic or at the hospital, and asked about your experience afterwards.
Updates
- Half of the planned 200 participants have joined.
- Three community clinics are now offering follow-up appointments for the study.
