Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I have looked at many different routes to try and collect this information. Ive found it very difficult to actually get access to patients or previous patients. Hospitals and clinics were reluctant to let me have access to any patient, even in the waiting room. Any suggestions on how to get some kind of contact with patients would be gratefully accepted? (Is there such things as patient forums??)

Yes, the questionnaire does try to gain quite alot of demographic data, the kind of data that I thought had not been collected. I had great difficulty just trying to source waiting times for the NHS in the UK, data I thought would be readily available.

I do not wish to post anything that may be unsuitable or not in the interests of the people here. The project I am trying to create will be a website or a piece of software that I hope will be available to all physios to help them and their patients. The aim is for the patients to feel that there are methods of support or advice that are offered by their practitioners outside of their treatment hours.

I am not a physiotherapist myself and so am trying to get to know the area as well as I can to understand how physios may be able to offer patients more support outside of their sessions.

Thanks!
