Microneedle drug delivery technology for an older population

This online questionnaire invites healthcare professionals with an interest in geriatric medicine to participate in a study about microneedle drug delivery technology for an older population.

The aim of the study is to collect the views and opinions of medical professionals within the field of geriatrics regarding the use of microneedles, a novel transdermal drug delivery device, in older people.

This is the first study specifically addressing the use of this technology in older people (conventionally stated as those aged 65 years and over) and it is hoped that the results will enable further development of appropriate microneedle-based applications for this population.

The questionnaire consists of a brief explanation of microneedle technology, followed by a series of questions based on your views and opinions. You will be asked to indicate your level of agreement with a series of statements and will also have the opportunity to provide additional comments.
The questionnaire should take approximately 10 minutes to complete.
All the information gathered will be anonymous and cannot be linked to whoever completed the questionnaire.
This study forms part of a PhD project at Queen’s University Belfast and the results will therefore be published in a PhD thesis. In addition, the results may be published in research journals or presented at conferences.
