Living well with multiple conditions in later life – have your say

Hearing Link supporters are invited to participate in a survey as part of the James Lind Alliance – Priority Setting Partnership.

Responses are sought from those who are aged 80+, or from those who care for someone aged 80+ years old whether that be a family member/carer, or a health care professional.

The 80+ age group has become the most rapidly expanding demographic of our population and with this comes increased need to manage and care for more individuals living with multiple health conditions, hearing loss being one of the leading conditions found.

You are invited to participate in a survey which seeks to discover which questions should be researched further, particularly as related to living with hearing loss in addition to at least two other health related conditions.

The survey should take anywhere between 5 to 20 minutes to complete and can be found by visiting https://research.ncl.ac.uk/jlaprioritysetting/thesurvey/

This James Lind Alliance Priority Setting Partnership is supported by the NIHR Newcastle Biomedical Research Centre, the NIHR Clinical Research Network, the NIHR and Engage FMS, Faculty of Medical Sciences Newcastle University and Age UK.
