Main Learning Points - Medium to low response rate for posted questionnaires. Phone questionnaires also proved problematic as care staff often too busy for number of questions. Mixture of phone and post likely to work best & edited version of questionnaire for phone use.
Local teams often focus priorities on younger people and the need to explore intergenerational work seems crucial |
