The face-to-face Fusion Forum, a patient pre-op educational class, was established twelve years ago at RNOH. It was aimed at patients who were considering an ankle or hind foot fusion but were concerned about the recovery process time and how would they walk after the surgery.
Patient education—an important part of delivering clinical care—is described by the World Health Organisation as ‘the process of influencing patient behaviour and producing the changes in knowledge, attitudes and skills necessary to maintain or improve health’ (WHO, 1998). Patients rely on their clinicians to receive information they require before surgery or treatment.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and distanced patients need to travel, the Fusion Forum video was developed. This multidisciplinary project highlights the roles colleagues play in the patient journey and gives patients information to aid their decision making. Patient testimonials also aim to help gain an insight into expected pathway they will follow.
The recorded session is now available to view: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovmAo_gmeN0
Patient testimonials can also be viewed, starting with Puja: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Sw6wctwjiQ&t=5s

It's from the British Science Association - their survey shows that 81% of adults believe that science and research make a valuable contribution to society, and 77% agree that science and research is good for the country’s economy. Science is at the heart of the innovations and advances RNOH make in improving the nation's health. We are proud to celebrate a ground-breaking project supported by The RNOH Charity that aims to improve bone surgery outcomes.
Infections in complex procedures occur more often than in standard joint replacements, posing serious risks to patients. But thanks to researchers and cutting-edge techniques like phage therapy, experts at RNOH are working towards safer, more effective surgical plans that support better recovery and long-term success. We're using science to ensure safer and more effective medicine for everyone.
