Kirsten Prest discusses the 'Encompass' study on care for disabilities in Uganda and its wider application in the NHS, where narrative-driven mixed methods research shaped phases from grants to implementation This talk will explore how a small qualitative study was able to inform a wider body of work, which includes both qualitative and quantitative methods. It will be framed within the “Encompass” study which aims to adapt and pilot test a group programme for parents/carers of children with disabilities originally developed in Uganda, to be implemented in an NHS setting in the UK. The initial qualitative work supported every phase of the mixed methods study from grant applications to key decisions around implementation, to informing the adaptation phase, to considering objectives and outcomes, and finally dissemination and future work. It has provided a wealth of knowledge and rich insights, much of which continues to inform future grant applications.

How do you carry out a realist synthesis of an intervention when there's 'no evidence'?
Joanne Greenhalgh, Professor of Applied Social Research Methodology (University of Leeds) on the experiences of conducting a realist synthesis of the feedback of aggregated patient reported outcome measure (PROMs) data to improve patient care. Her talk addresses two methodological questions (1) how do you carry out a realist synthesis of an intervention when there's 'no evidence'? and (2) how can you deal with the complexity of ‘context’?
