What needs investigating to help improve care for former service personnel and their families, friends and carers?
Earlier this year, a team supported by the Office for Veterans’ Affairs asked the following people about their questions and concerns about all areas of physical and mental health and wellbeing:
- veterans
- family, friends, and other supporters of veterans
- and the healthcare professionals who work with veterans and families.
This identified areas that need further investigation by research, and these are now listed in this survey https://southampton.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dmzL6NvsfFHRB4i.
The team would now like veterans, family, friends, carers, health professionals and anyone else who supports veterans to choose the 10 most important questions on the list.
This work is led by veterans, family members, charities and healthcare professionals. With your help we will identify the Top 10 priorities for research that would improve quality of life for veterans and their families and supporters.
There is more information about the partnership online.
Thank you for your help. Together, we can influence future research to investigate areas of real, everyday importance to veterans, families and the healthcare professionals who work with them.
Please ask the veterans, family members and supporters and healthcare professionals that you know to complete the survey and choose which questions are most important to them.
