Orthopaedic Support Service

We offer support and advice for older people, living in Harrow, on the waiting list for Orthopedic Surgery.

This service helps provide needed advice and support for those who are awaiting surgery on the orthopedic waiting list.  

Being on the orthopedic waiting list for a while can be very stressful. This service has been introduced to help make it a little easier.

The waiting list support service is designed to help those awaiting surgery and advise them on how to improve their wellbeing in the meantime. It enables the service user to talk through any concerns they may have with a member of the team who will be there to support them.
