Benefits and Potential Risks

Benefits of taking part. 

​

This research alongside research being undertaken at Liverpool John Moores University will have the potential to inform governance, management, and practice in medicine, midwifery, nursing and pharmacy; to impact upon regulation of CO by the UK and devolved governments; and to influence policymaking by international organisations such as the WHO and the international professional bodies. Impact will be achieved by the creation of clear national guidelines and publication in academic journals.

Potential risks and disadvantages of taking part (service users).

​

Interviews may bring about emotional distress due to the potential sensitive nature of the research. Participants do not have to answer questions they do not feel comfortable answering, and are able to withdraw anytime before or during the interview. Interviews will be approached empathetically and professionally. The researcher has been trained in interviewing at The University of Warwick (BAHons) Sociology with Research Methods Specialism) and The University of Oxford (MSc Sociology), and has experience interviewing individuals about potentially sensitive topics.

If you are affected by participation in this study, you may wish to seek support and advice.
