The study will involve older people and family carers in North East London with recent experience of REACH, as well as health and care professionals involved in the service or in supporting people following REACH.
Who can take part?
You may be eligible to take part if you are:
- an older person aged 65 or over, or a family carer, with recent experience of REACH; or
- a health or care professional with experience of REACH or of supporting people following a REACH referral.
What does participation involve?
Older people and family carers may be invited to take part in an interview about their experiences of care.
Health and care professionals may be invited to take part in an interview or focus group about how REACH works in practice.
If you are invited to take part, you will be given full information about the study and given the opportunity to ask any questions you may have before deciding whether you would like to participate. Participation in the study is entirely voluntary.
