    Hi Brian

    Whilst I was in hospital having a total knee replacement, I vaguely remember that I completed a NJR Patient Consent Form.

    The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    Hi
    I have signed up to be monitored re this for my THR. I had a questionnaire to complete and send off when I was admitted for the surgery, as I had agreed to do it at pre op assessment.

    Yes, they can only include data where the patient has given consent.

    I signed the NJR consent form at my pre-op yesterday (and also the op consent form). Can't see why anyone would refuse but from the stats some do.
