NHS Hampshire & IOW - Wheelchair Users Survey

NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight is running a survey to understand the experiences of wheelchair users who are currently using services.

What will the survey do?

Gather insights on wheelchair users' experiences.
The findings from this survey will help inform the commissioning of services as we begin the procurement process for wheelchair services in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight later this year.
Provide an opportunity to be involved further to help shape the service in the short and longer term.

Who can take part?

Wheelchair users living in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight (or previous users in the last 12 months, who are 18 and over), their families, and carers.

Take the survey here: https://survey.ntropydata.co.uk/surveys/DP2026WheelChair

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete.

Paper copies can be requested by emailing: [email protected]

Requests must be made by Friday 31st July 2026 and returned by Sunday 16th August.

If you have any questions related to this project, please do not hesitate to email [email protected].

CLOSURE REMINDER

We are closed from 1pm on Tuesday 14th July so that our Surgery can join the TARGET training scheme.

📞 Anyone who needs advice about a health problem that cannot wait until the surgery is open again should telephone 111 or visit the NHS 111 website – 111.nhs.uk. In an emergency, please call 999.

What is TARGET?
TARGET stands for Time for Audit Research Governance Education and Training and all of these things are important in ensuring that surgery staff can do their jobs as effectively as possible.
By taking part in a half day TARGET session our Primary Care Workforce can:
✅Learn new skills which they can then use back in the surgery
✅Learn about new treatments and approaches to care
✅Work more closely with the hospitals and other care providers to make your care work more effectively
✅Share their thoughts and ideas with each other to improve services. See less

💜 World Fibromyalgia Awareness Day, 12th May 💜

Fibromyalgia is a chronic illness which causes pain and fatigue. There are approximately three million suffers across the UK, but there is very little awareness of the condition. It is a debilitating and life-altering condition, but it is very hard to reach a diagnosis, find information, or get effective treatment, as there has been very little research into it until recently.

Symptoms include:
💜Un-refreshing sleep, waking tired and stiff and fatigued
💜Headaches or migraines
💜Pain throughout parts of the body
💜Irritable bowel, leading to constipation and diarrhoea, gas and nausea
💜Cognitive problems and memory impairment, sometimes known as ‘fibro fog’
💜Clumsiness and dizziness
💜Sensitivity to weather changes, noise, bright lights and other environmental factors

Support groups:
If you have fibromyalgia, support groups can provide an important network for talking to others living with the condition.

Fibromyalgia Action UK is a charity that offers information and support to people with fibromyalgia.

If you have any questions about fibromyalgia, call the charity's helpline on 0300 999 3333.

Fibromyalgia, also called fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), is a long-term condition that causes pain all over the body.
