Work Package 3

Work package 3:  Intervention development and validation 

A consensus panel of expert health and social care professionals and PPI members will review the findings of WPs 1 and 2 and make recommendations regarding the content and delivery of the new intervention. Selected WP2 participants will be invited to give feedback on the proposed intervention through interviews and focus groups. A manualised description of the intervention and accompanying training materials will then be produced.

Objectives of Work Package 3

  • to develop and validate an intervention to improve outcomes for PWD with a fall related injury, drawing on the findings of WP 1 and 2
  • to describe the outcome measures to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the intervention
  • to validate the proposed intervention through qualitative work with stakeholders, including some participants from WP2
