Calling all parents and carers! Is your child under 12 with special medical healthcare needs? Does your child take medicines on a regular basis? My name is Emma Butler and I am a 4th year Pharmacy Student at the University of Brighton. I am looking for parents or carers to take part in a quick questionnaire about the issues you face when giving your children their medicines. It will only take a few minutes but it will help us to better understand the problems parents and carers deal with and the ways in which these issues can be improved. All responses are anonymous as no personal details are included in the questionnaire. You can omit any questions you wish and are under no obligation to complete the questionnaire. If you have any queries, feel free to contact me at eb167@uni.brighton.ac.uk.

If you wish to take part in this survey, please open the link below

Thank you for your time.

Tried entering an 'other' condition and the survey thought I had not answered the question, so I couldn't carry on.

Sorry about that! I have fixed that question and you should be able to continue with the survey. Thank you for bringing it to my attention and taking the time to do the survey.

I'm trying to complete it, but there is only space for 5 medications which is a bit optimistic in our case! Space for 10 would be better....

Hi everybody, I have changed the survey so you can add up to ten medicines. Thanks so much for taking the time to do it. All the information is very useful and is really helping me to understand the issues you all deal with when giving medicines.

Question 8 still only shows 5 for me?

And a PRN option for frequency would be helpful?

Hi, thanks for pointing that out. I've changed those questions. Any other issues, just let me know. Thanks again and if you know anyone else that would be suitable to do the questionnaire please let them know.
