Purpose of the research
This study aims to:
* use your insights and experience to improve health and social care
* find out how you identify and describe your health issues and symptoms
* explore any issues you may be having in communicating them to your GP.
* explore how services can be fully accessible, so that no one is left out, left behind or left untreated
How your participation will help:
Your participation in this study will help us make sure that the services we develop will:
* uncover and help support ‘hidden’ disability, health and care needs that are currently unrecognised and unmet
* enable everyone to be understood, and heard, and to get the medical attention and care they need
* take everyone’s health and care needs, experiences and conditions into account
* help health and social care be preventative and work better for everyone, now and in the future.
