Get involved with PUMA

PUMA is currently looking to recruit participants for a Delphi process to help inform our working groups.

Research Assistant: Public and Patient Involvement (PPI) in Psychosis

PUMA is currently looking for a Research assistant to join our team, focusing on Public and Patient involvement in psychosis. Please see official advert for more detail on the role and how to apply.

 

PUMA Delphi process 

The Delphi process is an approach where we gather your feedback through a series of online surveys to help design this new clinical trial platform.

PUMA is a project funded by the Welcome Trust that is developing a new MAMS trial platform for early psychosis research. This type of trial allows researchers to test multiple treatments at the same time, prioritise promising interventions, and adapt the trial based on results.

Please find a short video on our Delphi process it here. You can also find short video on PUMA here and find more details about the overall PUMA project here. Please note that the Delphi process is not a research study or a clinical trial.

What will the Delphi process involve?

The Delphi process will have four phases. It is vital to take part in all four of them.

  1. Initial online survey (Round 1) - Share your initial thoughts and feedback.
  2. Intermediate online survey (Round 2) - Review anonymous responses from others and refine your input.
  3. Hybrid consultation (Bringing everyone together) - Discuss the findings and provide more detailed feedback.
  4. Final online survey (Round 3) - Review the summary of responses and provide your final input.

To be a part of the PUMA Delphi process you will need to have experience working with psychosis professionally or be an expert by experience meaning you have lived experience of psychosis or care for someone who does.

We are grateful; and looking forward to read your anonymous responses in our Delphi questionnaire. If you are interested in participating please email puma@psych.ox.ac.uk with a short description of your background in relation to psychosis.
