Help shape the future of anaesthesia research

Researchers at Cardiff and Vale UHB are running a study called ReTEAM (Routine Embedded Trial Enrolment in Airway Management).  

The study is looking at a new way to run research during anaesthesia. It looks at whether patients can be included in research about airway management during anaesthesia without needing written consent first. We want to hear your views to make sure this approach works well for patients.

What experience do I need to help?

• No special knowledge or training is needed.
• You should have had a general anaesthetic in the last 10 years
• You don’t need any previous research experience, just be willing to share your thoughts in an online discussion

What will I be asked to do?

• Join an online meeting
• Share your thoughts on the study idea and design
• Complete a short questionnaire after the meeting 

How long will I be needed for?

• The online meeting will last about one hour
• All tasks will be finished within two weeks of the meeting date 

What are some of the benefits for me?

• Share your views and help shape future anaesthesia research
• Make research fairer and more inclusive for all patients
• Learn about how clinical trials work and why they matter
• Have your voice heard by researchers designing new studies
• Contribute to improving patient safety during surgery

 What support is offered?

• Cover reasonable travel expenses and additional carer or childcare costs,
• Offer payment for time of £25.00 per hour (people can request less if they are in receipt of state benefits).
