Have Your Say: ‘The Future of Surgery’ Survey
- Area of Work: The ALLIANCE

Researchers at the University of Strathclyde want to hear your opinions on the use of technology before, during and after elective surgery
The University of Strathclyde is part of a collaborative research hub, the Future Hospitals Initiative (FHi), bringing together universities, businesses, and the NHS and social care to lead ground-breaking research. The FHi wants to understand new perspectives and ideas from researchers, health and social care staff and also the public/service users. They work with staff and service users to create a bold vision for the future of health and social care.
The purpose of this short 10 minute survey is to understand what you would like a future hospital to look and feel like. It will focus on the use of technology before, during and after elective surgery (planned operations).
The questionnaire is anonymised so nothing you say will be attributed back to you.
The survey questions don’t require you to have any specific knowledge or experience of any type of surgery or technology.
The survey link will close on 30 May 2025
