I work as a researcher for a company called Pamoja (www.pamoja.uk.com), based in Brighton.

My colleague and I are currently staying in Southend-on-Sea and we are seeking participants to help us with some research to assess and raise awareness of serious health conditions in the region and I wondered whether you and your members would be kind enough to support us with this research by posting a link to our online survey on your website.

We are running this research on behalf of NHS South East Essex and we hope that, through increasing awareness of symptoms of serious conditions, we can ultimately save lives. Any support you could offer us would be gratefully received.

The link to the survey is https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/see-pct-og

Unforturnately this is such a rapid research study that we need to cease data collection by Tuesday 6th March.

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any queries or if you would like further information on our research.

Many thanks and kind regards,

Gemma Robertson
