How Multi-disciplinary Staff View Ward Rounds<br />

You are being invited to take part in a service related project. Please take time to read the following<br />

information carefully. Ask me if there is anything that is not clear or if you would like more information.<br />

Thank you for reading this.<br />

What is the purpose <strong>of</strong> the study?<br />

This Questionnaire was devised for the purpose <strong>of</strong> a small-scale service related project conducted as part <strong>of</strong><br />

the Doctoral course in Clinical Psychology at <strong>Hertfordshire</strong> <strong>University</strong>. It aims to find out what aspects <strong>of</strong> a<br />

ward round different pr<strong>of</strong>essionals think are most important. There has not been any prior research to date<br />

that has considered whether there are differences between pr<strong>of</strong>essional groups in their opinions regarding<br />

the way ward rounds are conducted and how best they could be conducted.<br />

Why have I been chosen?<br />

I will be asking all pr<strong>of</strong>essionals that attend a variety <strong>of</strong> ward rounds to complete the brief questionnaire.<br />

Do I have to take part?<br />

Of course participation is completely voluntary.<br />

What will happen to me if I take part?<br />

The information you supply will not include your name and therefore will be anonymous. You will be<br />

asked to complete a questionnaire that I constructed based on guidelines used in Brent Kensington Chelsea<br />

Westminster Mental Health Trust. The questions are divided into two parts. The first part asks How<br />

Important you rate certain aspects and the second part asks how the ward round that you LAST attended<br />

was carried out. Both parts cover the same areas so may appear similar. Please write comments about any<br />

<strong>of</strong> the questions in the comment section at the bottom or if the space provided is insufficient continue<br />

overleaf.<br />

Who is organising the project?<br />

The project is being organised and carried out by Helen Eracleous, Trainee Clinical Psychologist.<br />

What will happen to the results <strong>of</strong> the research study?<br />

The results will be written up and submitted to university and a copy left with the teams that take part. This<br />

project has been reviewed by the Trust’s Clinical Audit and Effectiveness Group.<br />
