Researchers at The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust are looking for people with lived experience of emergency hospital admission for Crohn's Disease to join a focus group to shape their research.
UNMAPPED - focus group opportunity to shape research on inpatient care for Crohn's
Researchers are looking at how to improve the care of patients admitted to hospital with Crohn's. Currently there are lots of possible treatment options, including antibiotics, steroids, surgery and advanced therapy.
They would like to hold a focus group to learn more from people about how they can design their research to best reflect patient priorities.
To take part you must have experience of being admitted to hospital as an emergency (unplanned admission) for Crohn's.
The focus group will be held online and you will be asked to share your views and experiences.
If you are interested in taking part, or would like more information about the study, please complete the form below.
By entering your details, you are not committing to take part, but your contact details will be forwarded to the researcher who will get in touch with you directly with more information. You will have the opportunity to change your mind at any time.
This research study is NOT organised by Crohn's & Colitis UK and, therefore, we cannot take responsibility for your involvement in the research.
