We need you!

The team at NELA+ want to hear more from people who have been through an emergency laparotomy journey, whatever that looked like.

Hearing from people with experience of the surgery helps us to improve that the work we are doing to enhance the care and experience of people having laparotomy surgery in the future.

Even if you can only offer a small amount of time, we would still love to hear from you.
