Summary

Service users told us how they experienced difficulty accessing services they needed. We presented these findings to North East Commissioning Support (NECS). 

Findings

Improvements that service users identified

Key findings:

  •  Waiting times
  •  Information sharing
  •  Pain management
  •  Difficulty to access preferred treatments 
  •  Poor aftercare
  •  Consistency 

We conducted three focus groups and spoke to a mixture of service users. 

Often my comments on back/
neck pain were either ignored
or I was just prescribed pain
killers.
