Are you a parent or carer of a child with a long-term medical condition or disability who has been ill with flu-like illness?
Would you like to influence medical research?
If your child:
? Is under 12 years of age
? Has had a flu-like illness in the past 2-3 years
? Has a long-term health condition or disability
We would like to invite you to take part in an informal discussion group to help design a research study, which we hope will improve the medical care of ?at risk? children who fall ill with a flu-like illness.
We would like to know your thoughts on our research study and how we can make it ?user friendly? for the parents, carers and children taking part. We would also like you to tell us how you feel about research studies involving children.
No experience or qualifications required. The discussion group will last between 1.5 and 2 hours. Tea and coffee will be offered. Your travel expenses will be covered and you will be given a ?30 shopping voucher as a thank you for your time. We will arrange discussion groups in different locations in England.
If you would like to take part in our discussion group or find out more, please contact:
Ulla R?is?nen ulla.raisanen@phc.ox.ac.uk or Caroline Jordan in the University Office on 01865 289328
Thanks so much!
