• Research summary

  This pilot study will explore the experience of home haemodialysis from the perspective of service users and carers and will include a health economic component. The study will be in 3 phases: a series of focus groups with patients and carers to prioritise which questionnaire instruments would be most appropriate to use in the home setting; a 6 month cohort study with 20 patients to test the instruments and evaluate data returns; interviews with 10 patients and carers to explore individual experiences of care and identify further instrument domains. In addition to this work we will also test the Social Return on Investment methodology to determine its utility in this context.
