Theme: Patients, participation and recruitment
We will have 2 paper presentations and also invite short (10 min) presentations from Postgraduate or early career researchers - please contact Catherine Pope ([log in to unmask]) to book your slot.
Dr Julia Frost - Do our answers fit their questions? Critical humility in patient led research.
Abstract: While much attention has been given to how patients can participate in research design generally, less has been given to their role in the analysis of qualitative data. In our patient led project about agenda setting in medical consultations we explored techniques to enhance meaningful participation in data analysis. Our paper suggests that a critical humility is required in order for academics to challenge and deconstruct our own qualitative practices to enable patients to participate in the interpretation of data and knowledge production.
Dr Graham Brennan - Making sense of recruitment in public health: is it method or methods or pasta sauce?
Abstract: Received wisdom tells us that recruitment of participants is challenging. "Challenging" is often an acronym for difficult/frustrating/unsuccessful/heart breaking, but the question is why? While it is true to say that most trials currently fail to recruit successfully, it is difficult to understand why, when there is a lack of data and information which tells the story of what we do as recruiters. This data and information is a mine field for learning and this paper presents a methodology for recruitment with some examples of its application. The methodology is evidence based and is presented with a view to stimulate discussion and debate.
About our speakers:
Julia Frost is Lecturer in Health Services Research at the University of Exeter Medical School. She is a sociologist with interests in social theory and qualitative methods.
Dr Graham Brennan holds a PhD in recruitment of participants to public health interventions. His postdoctoral work has included study evaluations for Macmillan Cancer Support and project management for the Football Fans in Training programme. He currently works as a consultant, advisor and trainer in recruitment of participants to public health interventions.
We look forward to seeing you there
