For our patients, preparing for and recovering from joint replacement surgery can seem overwhelming, so knowing what to expect and receiving ongoing support from their surgeon and care team throughout the surgical journey can help ease the process.

We are the second of the WYAAT hospitals, after Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, to have recently implemented the mymobility Care Management platform.

mymobility complements the traditional care provided by surgical care teams, allowing them to deliver tailored information and guidance remotely, through a mobile or web application.

Since its launch, more than 160 patients have been enrolled onto the mymobility app at CHFT.

Pre-surgery and post-surgery, the mymobility app has been designed by and with trust colleagues to support patients by providing them with information such as how to prepare for surgery and recovery, helpful reminders, and scheduled exercises.

The app is due to be rolled out across other WYAAT hospitals, to better inform and support patients across West Yorkshire and Harrogate.
