SATiRe: Staff Attitudes Towards clinical Research in the NHS
Dear Colleagues
I would like to invite you to participate in SATiRe: Staff Attitudes Towards clinical Research in the NHS.
This NIHR adopted research study is being undertaken at all trusts across the West of England and aims to:
- To compare attitudes towards research across different professional groupings, healthcare settings, seniority etc;
- To identify what the common barriers to doing research in your area are;
- To understand what could better support and motivate you to be more involved with research.
The first page asks you to provide your consent to participate and the second some demographics regarding your location, role and seniority. Please note no identifiable data will be collected.
The survey will take about 8-10 minutes to complete and will greatly help us understand attitudes and perceptions towards research across the region.
