Realistic medicine survey

We are excited to invite you and your colleagues across NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) to participate in a short survey focusing on Realistic Medicine. Your insights and experiences as healthcare professionals are essential in helping us understand and enhance the implementation of Realistic Medicine principles across our organisation.

About the Survey:

This survey is anonymous and has been carefully designed to gather insights and feedback from healthcare professionals like you. The data collected will be utilised by the Realistic Medicine team at NHSGGC to better understand the status of Realistic Medicine implementation and identify areas for enhancement.

We kindly request a few minutes of your time to complete this survey, as your input will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of healthcare within our organisation. Your responses will remain confidential, and your participation is highly valued.
