WP3.1: Patient survey

A brief, <10-minute survey was disseminated to a random sample of patients at the 12 participating WP2.2 practices. A survey invitation letter was shared with patients, and the survey could be accessed via web link or a QR code, and a phone number was provided for those requiring a paper copy or translation. In order to reach under served populations, we contacted local community and/or faith groups to seek permission to invite members who live in the vicinity of a case study site to participate.

Survey dissemination began in November 2024 and is ongoing. A final question asked participants to express their interest in taking part in an interview.​

WP3.2: Patient interviews

Interviews are underway with participants recruited from the WP3.1 patient survey to gather an in-depth understanding of patient views on the implementation of decarbonisation actions in general practice. To encourage participation, those taking part in an interview receive a £25 voucher. Interviews are held via phone or MS Teams (depending on participant's preference)​.

Data analysis

Data analysis is currently underway for both the patient survey and interviews. Framework analysis is being used for WP3 interview data, the same method as has been used for WP2.2 data from case study sites.
