What’s the purpose of this study?
They’re undertaking research on the possible uses of placebos in clinical practice and they would like to obtain the views of patients to inform their research.
What will I have to do if I take part?
People with experience of being a patient will be invited to attend a group meeting with up to nine other patients. The group will be facilitated by trained health psychologists. The group sessions will last no more than two hours and travel expenses will be reimbursed (The location of the meetings is not currently decided and they will most likely be centred around areas will the most applicants). The meetings will take place around the end of April – start of May (exact dates are not currently confirmed).
