We are running a series of online focus groups to prioritise areas for future research on mental health and wellbeing for people with advanced life-limiting illness. We have developed a shortlist of priority areas, which we would like to share with you and gain your input from at these workshops.
If you would like to participate in one of the focus groups, the dates and time are below. You would only attend one workshop, and the date will depend on whether you are a public representative, professional, policy person/funder/commissioner or researcher. If you are interested, please contact Anne Finucane (anne.finucane@ed.ac.uk) or Charlotte Simpson Green (c.simpsongreene@mariecurie.org.uk) who will send you further information and a link to the consent form. This study has been approved by the University of Edinburgh, Clinical Psychology Ethics Committee.
