  • Helped design flyers to recruit patients to interview study

  • Raised initial issues for the research team to consider—for example, feeling judged, ‘told off,’ suggestion of problem drinking

  • PPI member role description made, sent to group and used in recruitment of new members

PPI Meeting Two

23/07/18

Feedback of interview findings; co‐production training; MAC version 1 introduction; and co‐design workshop planning

Feedback from researchers:
  • Changes to the flyer and how it was used to recruit people to interviews
  • Interview findings
  • Overview of CHAMP timeline
Key take away messages:
  • Alcohol as a drug concept resonated with the group was seen as legitimate for pharmacist and relevant to patients
  • Group suggested pitching alcohol as a drug concept to the workshop participants
  • Members suggested sections of text that did not work well for them
  • One member suggested a ‘Jigsaw’ visual idea for explaining the intervention purpose
  • Discussed options for training—decided training will be incorporated into the meetings and be tailored to the group depending on the timing of the project
  • Signed off on the role description and agreed for all to go through the recruitment process discussion about skills and experience with SM
  • Group said: MAC has potential to build relationships, extending awareness of pharmacist expertise, a health professional ‘on your side’
Gave feedback on written scripted content of MAC guide
  • MAC version 1 no longer included some text, for example ‘in ways that suit them’

Helped researchers work out how to take the MAC guide into the co‐design workshop:
  • The team did not invite comments on written excerpts from the MAC script out of the context. The pharmacist's side of the consultation was read aloud to keep the context clear and to invite discussion of how and when things are said, as well as what is said.
  • The team used ‘alcohol as a drug’ as the overall pitch for the intervention and provided an explanation for it
  • The team used the Jigsaw image in the presentation and in visual aids throughout the workshop
