Research summary
Despite high numbers of eligible patients, the ACTIVATE trial struggled to recruit. The ACTIVATE sub-study will approach patients who received an invitation to take part in the trial but did not respond to this invitation. These patients will be invited to complete a short survey and be invited to attend a focus group. The focus groups will allow us to directly speak to eligible patients to discuss why they didn’t respond to the mailout inviting them to take part in the study, what could have been done differently and to discuss their preferences for Cardiac Rehabilitation and what they would expect or prefer from a Cardiac Rehab programme.
