I’m looking for Black individuals aged 18 or over with experience of mental health difficulties (of any kind) to review short written materials related to the study – including a participant information sheet and a recruitment poster.

This is a grant application for a project investigating the generational influence on vaccination. We will be interviewing older adults (65 years+) and their children (possibly grandchildren too) on their thoughts about vaccination (including pneumococcal, flu, shingles, winter COVID and RSV).

In this opportunity, you will be part of a small PPI team of 3/4 people, helping guide the documents and interviews.

I would like to talk to patients aged 65 and over admitted to hospital with rib fractures, or their relatives.

The chat should take about 30minutes and I will record the conversation. We can speak on the phone or using Teams. I will send a summary of the study proposal before we talk.
