Sponsor's own description
Trial Design A mixed-methods sequential explanatory approach in general practices, using quantitative questionnaire data followed by qualitative interviews. Trial Participants Patients aged 65 years and above with more than one long-term health problem (multimorbidity); and the GPs that these patients consult with. Planned Sample Size 5 GP practices; 15 GPs; 150 patients Planned study period: 01/01/21 - 30/12/21; 1 year Objectives Primary To establish the determinants of adoption, implementation and maintenance of the critical, core components of the VOLITION intervention, designed to be embedded within GP consultations, and to determine those components of VOLITION that can be tailored to ensure that the intervention is modifiable in context. Secondary To describe the current context of GP consultations for older patients with multimorbidity in England, including current innovations, in light of recent organisational changes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. To describe the effect of recent changes to the context of GP consultations (towards remote consulting) on patients' and GPs' perceptions of shared decision-making To investigate factors which could potentially influence the successful implementation of interventions such as VOLITION in the context of remote vs. face-to-face consultations. The Intervention 'VOLITION': * half-day training workshop for GPs in shared decision-making * written involvement-facilitating tool for patients (delivered by post and available in the waiting room).
