upSTANDing GP

This is a collaborative project between Loughborough University, University of Leicester and the Royal College of GPs. This study consist of two work packages. Work package one will be a survey sent out to GPs in the UK to obtain their thoughts on doing some of their consultations standing up facilitated by a height-adjustable workstation. We aim to get ~1000 survey responses. Work package two is when GPs will trial a height-adjustable workstation for a short period of time to provide feedback on their experiences of using it during their working day with their consultations and administrative work where they can switch between sitting and standing postures. We will also interview patients on their thoughts on consultations being done with the GP standing up.
