The post holder will undertake the qualitative work within the NEOREHAB trial. This will include focus groups with stakeholders (clinicians, exercise physiologists, patients) to refine the intervention; semi-structured interviews with patients and clinicians in the early months of the trial to pro-actively identify any issues with study processes.

Further interviews with patients and clinicians to gain an in-depth understanding of trial feasibility and acceptability.

At the end of the study the post holder will also interview patients and clinicians from different specialities to explore ways care could be redesigned, which clinicians should monitor patients, and how best to support patients.

The Research Fellow will be responsible for all data collection and analysis, with input from the wider team on analysis and interpretation of the findings.

As interviews may take place face to face, this post will involve some travel across Leeds and Hull.
