30 minute interview opportunity via MS Teams video call. All parents of children with dysphagia aged 0-17 welcome. Interviews will be about your lived experiences with your child’s swallowing difficulties, including their journey to being diagnosed with dysphagia. Help shape research questions and the study design of future research on paediatric dysphagia.
We are exploring whether reminder letters from schools can help reduce asthma-related absences. This study will also assess whether this approach is practical and acceptable within schools.
We invite children aged 5-16 with asthma who use preventer medication, and their parents or carers, to join a small PPI group. You will meet once or twice a year to share feedback on study materials and design.
