The use of technology in the management of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) in the primary school environment: The experiences of Irish school-aged children and their parents.

I am inviting 3 families, 3 primary school personnel and 2 ANP/CNS in children’s diabetes to be part of the PPI advisory panel for this study. • Parents of children aged 6-12 years with T1D and children with T1D aged 6-12 years who use T1D technology during the primary school day • Primary school personnel (SNA's, teachers, principals) who support children with T1D who use T1D technology during the primary school day. • ANP’s/CNS in children’s diabetes. are invited to partake. Two online meetings will take place before the study commences and findings are generated, and two meetings will take place when study findings are known to the research team. April 2024 Meeting 1: Agree on the framework, i.e., an explanation of what the study is about, what PPI is, what participation is required, and the roles of the group. This meeting will also ask the panel to review the interview schedules for the parent and school personnel interviews and children will be asked to review the participatory child techniques. May 2024 Meeting 2: Discussion and feedback from PPI panel about the interview schedule and participatory techniques. Future meetings in 2025 (to be decided) will be held to discuss data analysis, study findings, and PPI involvement in dissemination opportunities.
