Description
Beth Fordham and colleagues explore a 2026 qualitative study of PROMOTE, a website-based recovery programme for people with complex lower-leg trauma. The programme blends physical, psychological, and social support, with professional backup, and was being tested in a feasibility trial at four major trauma centres. Interviews with ten patients and focus groups with sixteen staff examined what helped or blocked engagement.
Use varied wildly, from hundreds of pages viewed to none at all. Patients wanted the programme after the overwhelming first days but before normal life crowded it out. They also asked for leaner content, audio and video options, and offline access. Staff suggested presenting it as a general recovery tool, not only a pain or mood aid.
