www.healthtalkonline.org is a wealth of highly reliable – as opposed to partial and anecdotal – data on personal and patient experiences collected and analysed using world leading qualitative research methods by the Health Experience Research Group, Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford.

Users of www.healthtalkonline.org and  www.youthhealthtalk.org will find accounts – presented through video, audio and written material – which resonate with their own perspectives and experiences of issues such as reaction to diagnosis, consultation with their doctor, effect on work, social life and relationships, decisions on treatment options and side-effects of treatments. The questions that patients want answered are identified in the interviews with patients and summarised on the websites.
