Sheffield University is inviting members of the public, patients, and health professionals to take part in interviews which aim to explore what people think about sharing patient data/medical records for purposes beyond their individual care, e.g.for research to improve treatments or healthcare service. The research is being managed by the Information School at the University who are looking for people aged 25-44 or 65 plus and from a range of different backgrounds to take part.
Your participation would involve being interviewed to find out your opinions about sharing your patient data/medical record. The expected length of the interview is about an hour. This would take place at a data/time of your choosing, and via the telephone, or skype, or google hangouts.
To say thank you for your time, all participants will receive a £30 Amazon voucher which will be emailed to you after the interview.
If you have any questions about the study and to receive an information sheet with further details please contact Sarah Hargreaves by emailing sarah.hargreaves@sheffield.ac.uk .
