You might be interested in this local event - NHS Focus Group: Back Pain Digital Application

As part of their aim to improve back pain services for the Wandsworth community, local NHS are working to improve their self-management digital app called Get U Better.  As you may be aware your GP practices currently prescribe the Wandsworth lower back pain app to help patients manage their recovery. 

They are working to ensure the application is accessible and meets people's needs. Following the sessions with the Thinking Partners Group and PPI Reference Group last year, the Get U Better team are wondering if you might be willing to attend a follow up focus group to review the new version, think about the Get U Better team's engagement approach and what does and does not work well in the app, from the perspective of the community. It is hoped the application can be used in future for other health conditions.  

Over a 2 hour session, a short demonstration of the app will be given and then they would like to capture your thoughts on how it could be improved to better reflect peoples needs.  They would like to invite you to attend the following Get U Better app focus group sessions:
