To my beautiful Julian,

for teaching me to see the world in a different way.

Introduction

Many years ago, I was approached by a senior manager in a childrens hospital who was looking for a research team to evaluate a new service he had implemented in the hospital. The purpose of the new service was to deliver some of the care required by patients as an outpatient service, reducing the need for children and their parents to be admitted to the hospital. A few months after the service had been rolled out, it was not providing care to the number of patients that had originally been estimated. This low number of patient cases was mainly due to staff members unwillingness and inability to refer patients to the service.

I was asked to put together a team to carry out a diagnostic study to identify the main reasons why staff were not referring patients to the service. The caveat was that important decisions would need to be made about continuing or discontinuing the service at the next Board meeting. This meant findings would need to be delivered in two months. From my point of view, this meant I would need to assemble a team, design a study protocol, collect data, analyse it and disseminate it in a user-friendly way in less than eight weeks.

It was not an easy process, but we managed to carry out a rapid appraisal of the main barriers to referral. We carried out interviews with staff, observed referral processes and the delivery of care in the outpatients area and conducted documentary analysis. We developed a visual summary of the findings (similar to an infographic) and shared them by the deadline. The Board decided to continue with the service provided that the service leads develop action plans to address each of the referral barriers we had identified in our evaluation. The main changes that needed to be made were the development of better educational materials for hospital staff in relation to the services the outpatient clinic could provide, the simplification of the paperwork required to refer patients (as some staff found this to be too time consuming) and the creation of a follow-up system where staff who referred patients to the outpatient service would be informed about these patients outcomes after they were seen as outpatients. This was my first exposure to rapid qualitative research and, needless to say, I fell in love with this field.

We (by we I mean our research team that has recently become the Rapid Research Evaluation and Appraisal Lab [RREAL]) then went on to design and implement a wide range of rapid studies, including rapid ethnographies, rapid appraisals, rapid evaluations and rapid assessment procedures (RAPs). We reviewed the work others had done with these approaches (Johnson and Vindrola-Padros, 2017; Vindrola-Padros and Johnson, 2020; Vindrola-Padros and Vindrola-Padros, 2018; Vindrola-Padros et al., 2021) and sought ways to experiment with methods and advance the field of rapid qualitative research. We started being approached by other researchers, practitioners and students interested in the work and became aware of the need for formal training on these topics. We developed training courses for postgraduate students, clinicians, social scientists and managers, and it was at this point that we recognised the value of bringing together all of this information, our research experiences, previous studies, questions posed by our students, into one book.

The aim of the book is to develop capacity in the design, implementation, dissemination and use of findings generated through rapid qualitative research. I provide an overview of how these approaches have been used in the past, discuss the challenges of conducting rapid qualitative research through the use of real-world examples presented in the form of case studies and provide practical advice and guidelines for carrying out rapid and rigorous research. I also engage critically with this field, underscoring its main problems and limitations as well as situations when rapid approaches might not be suitable. I mainly focus on qualitative research but include examples of the collection and analysis of quantitative data, where relevant.
