Osteopathy Australia member Alison Sim is currently completing a PhD at the University of Sydney. The research study will look to examine people’s experiences, views and feedback on a telehealth-delivered program that targets people who have been involved in a road traffic accident. The goal of the telehealth program is to support people following an accident or injury. Participation in this study is voluntary.
Alison and the team at Sydney University need people 18 years or over who have experienced an injury following a road traffic accident on a Victorian road in the last 16 weeks and who are interested in receiving education and support delivered via telehealth.
Please consider any suitable patients for this trial and display the poster/ flyer in your waiting room, between June - December 2023.
Participants will be asked to complete a survey that will indicate they are eligible to participate. Those patients who are not eligible will be guided to some helpful online resources.
Both the patient information sheet and a waiting room poster/ flyer can be downloaded below.
