Hello,
I am posting as a member of a group of Medical Students at Imperial College, London. We are conducting a research project regarding stem cells and their use in treating a number of medical conditions abroad including spinal cord injury. A number of patients from the UK travel abroad for stem cell therapies every year, as these have not yet been approved in the UK. We would like to hear your opinions about 'Stem Cell tourism'.
Our aim is to look into how informed patients are about these overseas treatments with a view to compiling a patient education leaflet that can give patients more information about how to make decisions regarding going abroad for treatment, what the associated risks are, and how to ensure that they are making the best decision.
We are equally in the views of those who have had stem cell therapy, as those who only read about it or have never heard of it before.
We would be most appreciative if you could fill in the below survey, and forward the link to any others you know who may have spinal cord injury.
If you have any problems with the survey website, please email daniel.herridge06@imperial.ac.uk.
Survey link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/PJTH6Q8
Many thanks,
Daniel Herridge
