Hi all,
We are excited to recruit health care professionals to the focus group advertised below. The two groups that we are finding it most difficult to recruit to currently are community-based pelvic physios and community midwives. Please let me know if you have any
ideas as to how to best recruit from these roles. Please forward to any relevant professional networks. Thank you for your help.
I would be grateful if you could consider whether you would be suitable to participate in the following
focus group or interview study which has been funded by the Wellbeing of Women charity and is being run by the University of Nottingham. The study aims to
explore health care professionals’ (HCPs) experiences of communicating with women with vulval symptoms and
examining the vulva (the outer female genitalia) including performing procedures such as swabs, membrane sweeps, cervical cytology and IUD insertion. The focus group or interview will last approximately 60-90 minutes, and you will be given a £40 shopping
voucher as a gesture to reimburse you for your time.
We are recruiting from the following groups of HCPs:
-
Community-based Pelvic Physiotherapists
-
Sexual Health Nurses
-
Practice Nurses
-
Advanced Nurse Practitioners/ Advanced Care Practitioners (ANPs/ACPs)
-
Community Midwives
-
General Practitioners (GPs)
The findings of the study will help us gain understanding of the ‘real world’ challenges in examining women, identifying vulval skin disease and consulting women with vulval symptoms with a view to speeding up diagnosis in the future.

Additionally, if you have colleagues within your networks who may also like to participate, please feel free to forward this advertisement.
