There is clear national guidance on preventing, detecting, assessing, and managing delirium. However it is difficult for hospices to put this into practice because delirium care is complex. We have designed a way for hospices to overcome these difficulties and follow delirium guidelines better. We are testing if approach this improves delirium care and reduces delirium in hospices. Our trial steering committee oversees the project and includes academics, clinicians and public members.

PhD presenters are seeking public members to share their experiences to support the development of their doctoral research.
The workshop will take place on 26th March 2026. If you have previously attended a workshop with us, there is no need to reapply. Please register your interest here: https://forms.office.com/e/zMs7YKGLkx

Critical illness often leads to significant muscle loss and weakness, making recovery and returning to normal life difficult. To help patients recover, dietitians often provide different kinds of feeding support, such as tube feeding, nutritional drinks, or IV (given into the veins) nutrition. This study aims to find out what tools and checks dietitians are currently using (e.g. weight, strength tests, blood markers) to measure if a patient is getting better from a nutritional point of view.

We are seeking people with lived experience of obesity who are taking (or recently stopped taking) weight loss injectables (e.g. Wegovy, Mounjaro) privately. We will ask you to participate in a 2-hour online focus group to help us understand more about people’s experiences of taking these medications. The focus group will take place via Microsoft Teams on Tuesday, 10th February, 6 pm to 8 pm. If interested please go to:

We are inviting people with multiple long-term health conditions to take part in an online workshop.

We would like to hear your views on our proposed research, which involves a maintenance intervention to help people with multiple long-term conditions stay active over the long term, once supervised and structured programmes have ended.

No previous research experience is needed.

This is a research grant proposal. Parenting interventions largely target relationships, family functioning, and parenting confidence, which may not be fully captured by QALYs that focus on health outcomes for single individuals. This study will systematically review whether QALYs and similar preference-based measures are suitable for assessing parenting interventions

Cervical cancer is preventable if found early, therefore screening is important. Many people miss screening due to personal or social barriers. HPV self-sampling may help overcome these. AYEScreen is exploring how to best introduce HPV self-sampling in Scotland. The PPIE team will advise on study materials, delivery & sharing findings. We are seeking Women/people with a cervix aged 25–64 who are screening-hesitant & live in socioeconomically disadvantaged or rural and remote areas of Scotland.
