Stakeholder Focus Groups and Interviews: Interface development

Those who agree to take part will be asked to participate in interviews or focus groups lasting up to 6 hours in total. In these interviews/groups, you will help us develop the key design elements and functionality of the eMOEWS web-interface.

Stakeholder Focus Groups and Interviews: Escalation Pathway Development

Those who agree to take part will be asked to participate in one interview or focus group lasting approximately one hour. In these interviews/groups, you will help us develop key elements of the escalation Pathway.

Simulation Scenario: Staff Training

The research team will develop three simulated scenarios informed by the brief clinical scenarios used for development of the NHSE/I National MOEWS. Those who agree to take part will be asked to participate to a simulator scenario training session at one of four training centres. Each scenario recorded will be approximately 15 minutes long. The training will be facilitated by a member of the research team.

How will recruitment happen?

Staff identified through the medical and midwifery leads, and local champions will be approached to take part in the focus group and interviews and/or simulation.
