Pre-conference Workshop 2

Qualitative Research Applied to Continuity of Care

Thursday, 14 May, 15:00 - 17:30

• Paul van Royen, University of Antwerp, Faculty of Medicine Department of Primary and Interdisciplinary Care, Belgium. 
• Drs. Emilie Op de Beeck

Ensuring continuity of care is currently a major challenge in many European countries. Healthcare systems are facing workforce shortages, leading to reduced accessibility of primary care and deferred care. The situation is even more critical for vulnerable people, contributing to growing inequities in healthcare.

In this workshop, you will learn how qualitative research can help address research questions in this domain. Qualitative research provides in-depth insights into patients’ experiences, behaviours, and interactions within the healthcare system.

Emilie Op de Beeck has conducted research on improving access to health care for vulnerable people, and Paul Van Royen has many years of experience in qualitative research design. They will focus on formulating strong research questions and selecting appropriate qualitative designs and methods, using several examples of research in this field. 

Participants will also work in small groups to explore and develop qualitative research approaches related to continuity of care.
