Interviews for people who give their views on health via the internet

The INQUIRE project:  Interviewing patients and the public  who have used the internet to express their views about healthcare , or have read other people’s comments.  

•  Have you ever read other people’sonline comments or posts about their views or experiences of healthcare ?
  
• Or perhaps you haveposted or written about your own health or healthcare experiences online?
• Are you 18 or over?

We would like to find out more about how and why patients and members of the public have used the internet to express their views about healthcare, or read other people’s comments. We are interested in people’s use of a range of internet platforms e.g. Twitter, YouTube, blogs, health forums, patient feedback websites and NHS complaints forums
 
If you have used the internet for this purpose, we would like to invite you to take part in an interview with one of our researchers.  An interview will typically last between 45 minutes and one hour. A  researcher could   interview you at your home, or elsewhere if you prefer.  Interviews may also take place by telephone or online if preferred.
 
If you are interested and would like to find out more about what is involved please contact:
