Abstract

This chapter provides guidance on how to conduct focus groups and how they can be applied to the patient journey in a healthcare setting. A literature review was carried out to provide a vision of how best to conduct the focus group approach. Firstly, the study begins with a conceptual exploration that consists of developing a connection between focus groups and the patient pathway that has not previously been linked in other work (study contributions). Secondly, the authors examine a literature review which consists of exploring the contributions of focus groups to the patient journey, setting aside any prior knowledge. This chapter may act as a conceptual catalyst, provoking new thinking between focus groups and the medical sciences.
