PhD Proposal

  please complete the proposal shown in the task file attached. Proposal title: Analysis of equity of access to treatment and utilization of health care services in Oman A&E The proposal should have the following with aim and objectives as well as a research question. Moreover, it should have a literature review and a methodology which should include interviews and questionnaire to collect primary data and you may suggest a source to collect a secondary data. Please consider the bullet points below: 1. an introduction - that makes it clear that you're interested within A&E services in Oman because it impinges on patient experience (if this is not your interest, then you need to make it clear). You also need to make it clear that this is an issue in many countries, for various reasons. That some people are favoured or discriminated against, and that there can be reasonable grounds for this that many (patients) will accept. 2. Ways of thinking about equity in terms of access to treatment or services, or availability of treatment, or outcomes of treatment 3. Then equity in health care - and how patient perceptions of quality and of equity may differ from professional perceptions of equity. Perhaps with a discussion of waiting lists/referrals in A&E. 4. Ways of organising so that the service provided is equitable - and ways of organising so that patients perceive the service as equitable 5. Summary: what don't we know
