BSSH James Lind Alliance Priority Setting Partnership - Research Prioritisation Survey
04 March 2024
The BSSH Research Committee is undertaking a project to further refine the BSSH James Lind Alliance Priority Setting Partnership’s top uncertainties into answerable research questions, which can guide day-to-day clinical decision-making.
We’d like input from BSSH members as what specific research questions, we as hand surgeons would like answered by our RCS Champions, the NIHR and other multicentre studies. We want to do this by consensus of the hand clinician community and therefore need the views of as many of you as possible.

Background
Building on the 2017 BSSH James Lind Alliance Top 10
The 2017 James Lind Alliance Priority Setting Partnership (JLA PSP) on ‘Common Conditions Affecting the Hand and Wrist’ prioritised the Top 10 Research Uncertainties through the views of patients, surgeons and hand therapists.
This was an important step in driving hand surgery research. Several multi-centre hand surgery trials have since been funded, totalling over 10 million pounds from the NIHR alone.
Aim
The 2017 BSSH JLA PSP has a purposefully broad scope and prioritised top Research Uncertainties, rather than specific Research Questions to be addressed by individual studies. We aim to further refine the BSSH JLA PSP top uncertainties into answerable research questions, which can guide our day-to-day clinical decision-making.
This should be done by consensus of the hand clinician community in an inclusive, equitable and transparent way, in line with the anchoring principles of research prioritisation. As such we need everyone’s views.
This survey
We ask for 10 minutes of your time.
We need you to tell us which BSSH JLA PSP Research Uncertainties should be considered the main priority for clinical trials to address now, and propose specific question(s) you would like answered by a multi-centre RCT.
