This week we had our first meeting with our patient PPI group. It was a really enjoyable discussion with lots of useful insight on the experience of hospital stays & things for us to think about as we develop our research. Can't wait to meet with the carers' group very soon!

Lovely to hear Sam and @Debbie_Kinsey present this morning on the @BeetleProject at our internal @exetermed ESMI conference - great progress already!

"It's probably the most worthwhile thing I've ever done." We hear from Leon Farmer about his experience of getting involved in research as a patient advisor.

As the meetings will be on Zoom, you don't need to be in Exeter to take part. In fact, we'd love to hear from people all over UK, so do get in touch if you might be interested and want to find out more.

BEETLE is investigating approaches which aim to improve recovery for older people and reduce the length of time they spend in hospital after a planned surgery. We're specifically looking at people's experiences of these approaches & the impact on use of other services. 1/4

This work builds on a previous review which examined the effectiveness of these kinds of interventions. You can find out the results of that review here (including a summary, briefing paper, comic strip, and podcast): https://t.co/UOicsjhM9s
