How do you feel about being a healthcare scientist?
Your views about healthcare science
The IBMS has agreed to distribute a link to an electronic survey that seeks to understand how you chose to become a Healthcare Scientist, how you describe your job, how you feel about your current employing organisation, and what factors in your career are important to you. It also seeks your views about predicted changes in NHS life sciences over the next several years. A link to this survey has been sent to respondents drawn from the membership of the Institute of Biomedical Sciences (IBMS), the Association for Clinical Biochemistry and Laboratory Medicine (ACB). Apologies if you have received multiple invitations to contribute - please do so only once.
The information gathered by the survey will form part of a PhD thesis, and potentially inform workforce planners and policy makers in health and education. Its findings should provide information to assist with the design of programmes of education, training and continuing personal development to attract and retain healthcare scientists in the workforce.
A note about anonymity
All information collected about you during the course of the study will be strictly confidential. Information gathered will be stored securely, and will only be available to authorised researchers and the staff at Kings College London. At all times, there will be no possibility of you as an individual being linked with the data. There is no foreseeable risk in participating in the study.
The link to the electronic survey is below and should not take more than 20 minutes to complete.
