Blood test communication in primary care: help to design and share our research

The UNITE study aims to understand and improve how blood tests are discussed in primary care (GP).

We are looking for people to join a PPIE panel. The panel will meet 3 times a year over the project duration (3-4 years) to advise on the research design and sharing the research findings.

Panel members will be involved in designing resources for primary care staff and patients to help improve communication about blood tests.

The 3rd year of the project involves in-person workshops in London.

If you are interested, please complete the form linked above.
