Take part in a survey about a new treatment for lung infections. Researchers want to understand what makes people feel a certain way and what changes they might need to take to make the treatment more suitable for patients and their doctors/nurses. They want to hear from people with a lung infection or with a history of lung infections, as well as healthcare professionals who treat patients with lung infections.

The survey will take around 20-30 minutes and is available in English and French.  It’s part of the FAIR project, an EU-funded project by Horizon 2020.

GAMIAN-Europe, in collaboration with the European Psychiatric Association, has launched a new survey that seeks to explore the impact of COVID-19 on mental health care and services.

The objectives of this survey are to seek the views of people with a pre-existing mental health condition and those who have been recently diagnosed in the past 12 months; focusing on their perceptions regarding their use of mental health services and the impact of national governments’ actions on mental health during the pandemic: and to ask mental health professionals about the pressures of delivering mental health services during this challenging time.

The survey is available in 11 European languages and the deadline for its completion is 31st January.

It will complement GAMIAN-Europe’s Covid-19 survey conducted in 2020 and published in April 2021. 

Eurocarers would like to understand how people view care for older people with support needs and how they assess long-term care systems, more generally. How do people want those close to them or themselves to be looked after, should they need it? What are their experiences with receiving or providing care? And what are their expectations for the future?

For that, they have created this survey in order to collect information on the attitudes, experiences and expectations on long-term care, and to design better support systems for older people with care needs, for their families and communities.
