The scoping work for our new Evaluation of the Death Certification Reforms/Medical Examiner System is now well underway with the project team in the process of carrying out stakeholder interviews to inform study design and methodology.

A new methodological article by Dr Jo Ellins, Dr Manni Sidhu and Kelly Daniel asks "We can evaluate rapidly, but should we?"

The project team have just met with our project advisory group to discuss emerging findings from the national stakeholder interviews and case studies for the BRACE GP quality improvement evaluation. They gave useful insights into current pressures in general practice engaging with research.

Our Steering Group came together at The Exchange in Birmingham this week to hear the latest on our rapid evaluations and give advice from the scoping to dissemination phases of our four ongoing studies
