Lived Experiences Needed for New Research

The CPIPS Research Conversation Group would like to hear from you!

They are a team of researchers, looking at how range of movement information from Cerebral Palsy Integrated Pathway Scotland (CPIPS) assessments, can be used to improve decision making and care experiences, for children and young people with cerebral palsy.

If you are a young person with cerebral palsy and experience of CPIPS or a family member or carer with experience of CPIPS, then they would like to hear from you.

They are looking for people who would be willing to spend an hour of time talking about experiences with CPIPS and what you would like future research to look at. They would like to hear about:

  • How you think CPIPS data collected could be used to support children and families in treatment decision making?
  • And how you think this information could help change decision making processes for people involved in CPIPS?
