Research Opportunity

 

Traverse, Joined Up Care Derbyshire, and the King’s Fund are currently looking for people across Derbyshire to part in interviews for a research study. 

 

The health and care system is going through the process of integration, which means that different teams and organisations across health and care will be working together more closely.

We want to understand how to measure whether integration is resulting in better experiences for service users and carers. We want to make sure we’re asking the right questions, in the right way, so that the experiences of those people that integration affects are listened to.
 
For us to understand more about your experiences, we would like to invite you to take part in a one-to-one interview with a researcher. In the interview, we will be asking you questions about what good health and care would look like to you, and questions about your experiences giving feedback to health and care services.

 

We are urgently trying to interview people (and carers of people) that: 

- are over the age of 75

- need to access multiple health and care services, or 

- are housebound.

 

The interviews should take 30-40 minutes, and can be done virtually, via Teams or Zoom, or over the phone. As a thank you for your time, we will give you £35 for taking part. 

 

More information about the project is available here: https://joinedupcarederbyshire.co.uk/involving-people-communities/how-to-get-involved/#Integration_Index 

 

If you are interested in taking part, or have any additional questions, please contact Tom by email, tom.stocks@traverse.ltd, or by text, 07710993384.
