EQUIP project questionnaire

We are now recruiting service user and carer participants to take part in the latest study in the EQUIP programme grant. The aim of the study is to develop a questionnaire to help us find out if you have been adequately involved in your care plan (or the care plan of somebody you care for).

Each participant will receive a £10 high street gift voucher when we receive the completed questionnaire. We will ask you to supply your postal contact details so that we can send the gift voucher to you. These details will be kept separate from the questionnaire itself and not accessed by the research team to ensure your questionnaire responses remain anonymous.
