Study population: All patients of age 18 and over, who can read and respond in English and with a booked appointment, consulting with any Health Care Professional (HCP) at their general practice, during the recruitment period will be eligible to participate. All patients are required to confirm their attendance at the general practice by using the automated check-in screen. If the patient completing the automated check-in screen is 18 years of age or over, the additional two research questions will appear for completion.

Brief summary: The aim of this study is to examine patient acceptability, for providing brief research information, whilst self-completing an automated check-in screen prior to any general practice consultation.

Detailed description: The Automated Check-in Data Collection (AC DC) Study, is a pilot feasibility study, observing patients consulting in general practice and completing an automated check-in screen prior to their booked appointment, to confirm their attendance. Participants will be recruited over three weeks from approximately 11 participating general practices.

The primary objective of the study is to assess patient acceptability for answering brief research questions in the general practice waiting room, using an automated check-in screen. This will be measured by observing the percentage of completed automated check-in screens with entered research data.

Secondary objectives will assess check-in completion of self-reported pain and willingness to be contacted about future research studies of relevance. Reported severity of bodily pain experienced over the last 4 weeks and the proportion of patients agreeing to be contacted about future research studies of relevance, will be observed.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients 18 years of age or over attending participating general practices for a consultation with any healthcare professional.
* Patients registered with the participating general practice during the specified recruitment period.
* Patients able to read and respond in English.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients under the age of 18 attending the general practice for a consultation with a healthcare professional.
