A research team at the University of Birmingham are looking for stroke survivors to take part in six / seven face-to-face group meetings/workshops over a period of 18 months, with payment for time and travel expenses.
These will help to find ways for people with multiple long-term conditions (conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, lung disease, arthritis, depression, anxiety and others) to engage in exercise and other actions to improve their health, such as managing stress, anxiety or low mood.
What is the study about?
This project aims to develop personalised exercise-based rehabilitation programme to help people with two or more long-term conditions to help improve their overall and health-related quality of life.
What will it Involve?
Attending between six and seven face-to-face group meetings over a period of around 18 months and one final feedback meeting.
Each meeting will last around 2 hours and may require one or two hours of additional work (either pre-reading or making comments on the programme documents after the meeting).
The meetings will help to find ways to help people who have multiple conditions to engage in exercise and other actions to improve their health such as managing stress, anxiety or low mood.
Participants will receive £60 for attending each workshop and be able to claim local travel expenses.
Who can take part?
We are looking for people living in Birmingham and surrounding areas who have two of more long-term condition which significantly affect their quality of life – conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular disease (including stroke), lung disease, arthritis, depression, anxiety and others.
