Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) at UKBB

This page has been automatically translated.

What are PROMs?

PROMs are standardised questionnaires that patients use to describe their own state of health. They show how patients are doing, how they feel, how they are coping with daily life and what their quality of life is like.

This enables us to better understand how illnesses or treatments affect everyday life.

Why are PROMs important?

PROMs allow us to find out directly from those affected how they perceive pain, limitations or improvements. This enables us to continuously improve the quality of our care and better tailor treatment to their needs.

Versions for children and parents

At UKBB, we often have two versions of PROMs: one for patients themselves and one for parents or carers. Both questionnaires cover the same topics and give us an insight into the quality of life from the perspective of the children and their parents.

Procedure in the UKBB Orthopaedics Department

Depending on the age and diagnosis of our patients, we routinely send an e-mail with a link to a digital questionnaire set. Participation is of course voluntary.

The Medgate Kids Line provides quick and uncomplicated medical advice if your child is unwell. The medical team of our partner Medgate is available to you by telephone around the clock.
