PHIV+ recruitment by clinicbased on cumulative monthly targets
How we have been improving recruitment since Jan • Practical changes at sites following last SC: • Room all day at St Georges on 1st and 2nd Wed • Room at GOS • ‘Recruitment facilitator’ at B&S • Agreed with camp organisers and CHIVA exec for us to recruit at Camp in July • Recruitment update e-mails • Staffing changes • ‘Recruitment Days’ & setting up Virtual Recruitment Group • Widening HIV- eligibility
Recruitment update e-mails • Every site to receive monthly up-date • First e-mail sent out at beginning of May. Included: • Graph 1 Total recruited by all of the individual sites • Graph 2 Cumulative accrual against targets • Graph 3 Site specific information
Staffing changes • Staffing changes: • Marthe’s maternity leave covered by Kate Sturgeon • Linda’s role currently being advertised • Out of London research nurse (Katie Rowson) • Saves travel time • Access to potential new sites (Liverpool / Blue Sky Trust – Newcastle) • Katie has already established contacts
Staffing changes cont. • In-house research nurses • At three main London sites • Allows more flexibility for interviews (where often high DNA rates) • Implications of changes • Database changes (offline to web based) • Data quality and reliability • Pros and cons of using in-house CNSs as RNs • Training / handover
‘Recruitment Days’ & setting up Virtual Recruitment Group • Following SC discussion re: HIV- recruitment • 2 pilot days • Positively UK (recruited 7 HIV-) • Faith in People (recruited 6 PHIV+ and 1 HIV-) • Mixed half-days at PPC and B&S • All during holidays or at weekend • First e-mail sent to set up Virtual Recruitment Group • Organising teleconference to feedback on pilot days and to stimulate ideas and additional AALPHI days • Further ‘AALPHI days’ • Currently 3 being planned for summer holidays • Excellent way of seeing large numbers in one day • Planned activates around day for YP
Widening HIV- eligibility • Following discussions with other national cohorts at IWHOD, we will widen HIV- eligibility to include friends and partners • We will monitor the characteristics of the group • Aware may have small impact on science but believe benefits outweigh costs • Additional data items to be collected: • If born outside UK, date came to UK • How they know the case and for how long • What city they live in
Other issues • Two areas we will also be focusing on in next few months: • PHIV+ blood samples • PHIV+ casenote review • PHIV+ blood samples: • not collected if seen in voluntary sector or not due bloods on day of interview • Need to catch up • RN will provide each clinic with a list
Other issues continued • PHIV+ casenote review: • Additional to CHIPS form • Clinic staff need to: • complete front page • bring notes of PHIV+ already interviewed • RN will send e-mail prior to visit with details of notes required
