Past Research Opportunities

Online consultations with practitioners

We conducted a series of online focus groups with practitioners working in Higher Education to discuss their data collection practices and to inform the development of a standard minimum dataset for the sector. 

The discussion included:

• What data should be collected in services to demonstrate impact?

• How to capture presenting issues, demographics, and clinical outcomes.

• Challenges and opportunities for improving data quality.

• Next steps for developing a standardised minimum dataset.

We are in the process of preparing the findings for an academic paper and we intend to provide a summary of key findings on this page.
