Z2, PRACTICE MANAGER: “where we’re not notified in advance actually is a really good idea it gives you a really true picture of the reality” | |
S6, ASSISTANT JOINT COMMISSIONING MANAGER: “I just think the perception of some individuals may be that it’s slightly underhand” | |
Awareness of trial influences behaviour: | |
Z15, NURSE: “I think it’s a very good thing if you do research without us knowing about it really because you’re getting a true life situation aren’t you? Actually rather us thinking oh yes we really need to do that, we’d better do that because we’re in a trial.” “Its natural reaction isn’t it to think well we’re doing this therefore we’ve got to perform better at this.” | |
Z10, GP: “you might feel obliged to increase your screening so I think blindness is useful” | |
Z9, NURSE: “as far as consent for this goes …if somebody is taking that out of our hands and doing it as a at a PCT level then that’s fine but I think sometimes it’s nice to know that that an annual thing or an on-going thing so we consenting that it’s going to happen but we don’t necessarily need to know when it’s going to happen.” | |
PCT GP Relationships: | |
S4, PUBLIC HEALTH COMMISSIONING MANAGER - SEXUAL HEALTH: “I worry quite a lot that we … are investing quite a lot of work in primary care to make them see that we’re working together and that we can all trust each other, and I just worry that they might get frustrated that were kept out of that decision.” | |
Z9, NURSE: “Some people might always look on the bleak side, and think you know are they trying to catch us out, you know what are they trying to gain from it?” | |
Ethical approval important because of design: | |
S8, PCRN RESEARCH OFFICER: “Because it’s so novel it’s such a novel design you do need something in place that will ensure GPs that the research was ok so for this type of design. I would actually probably be seeking the ethics for educational research.” | |
S1, PCRN SENIOR RESEARCH OFFICER: “Approval should still be sought because I think there still needs to be some checks and balances on the study design.” | |
S5, REC CHAIR: “I think it would be helpful if this sort of [Zelen] design was at least shown to a chair to confirm or make everybody feel comfortable that it really was the sort of Zelen design that could raise no issues.” |
