Triad and resident identification and recruitment
RECRUITMENT
We used invitation packs, containing invitation letters, information sheets, and consent forms, to recruit PIPs and general practices, identified using local networks. Consenting general practitioners then approached up to three care homes to enable recruitment of approximately 20 residents. Care home managers distributed invitation packs, signed by the general practitioner, to potential residents or appropriate third parties (for example, next of kin) for those residents lacking capacity to consent.
