By now you are probably sick of hearing about COVID-19 as that is ruling the news and airwaves. So I’ll keep this brief. After a detailed discussion with my PhD supervisors and clinical teams I have made the tough decision to suspend SYMPACT research activities. There is also a chance I will also be suspending my PhD for a period of time if the demand for nurses in the hospital increases (read more on my PhD blog).  

Please be assured if you have participated in SYMPACT, in either the questionnaire’s or the interviews this is only a pause to the activity. I will finish this research and I will keep you up to date on how and when this happens but for now, we are pressing the pause button.

Be kind to each other and stay safe.
