Flamingo Study

We have a few more days of recruitment left and would love to speak to paramedics working in NHS Highland, Fife, GGC, Lothian, and A&A. flamingo@stir.ac.uk

Now doing interviews by phone/video

We are COVID-19 prepared and now doing all interviews by phone/skype. Still looking for participants so please pass around!

Finally got round to doing a SIMD by health board plot today. It is actually really interesting. GG & C slightly smoothed compared to Glasgow city council reflecting the addition of East Dun and East Renf datazones. However, still a big difference compared to Lothian!
