Users asked to compare NHS vs private
Private patients are being quizzed by university researchers as part of a project exploring what NHS and private hospitals ‘think and know about activities that help to support and improve high standards of care’.
Researchers from the Universities of Manchester, York and Birmingham are inviting patients or carers to take part in a one-hour interview on clinical governance for which they are paid £25.
Participants or an individual they look after must have received care for the same health issue in both a private and NHS hospital in the last three years – excluding mental health services.
They must have had an overnight stay in either or both an NHS and private hospital or may have been transferred from a private hospital to an NHS hospital.
