Follow Up FY1 survey

Many thanks to those of you who participated in part one of the induction survey.  This second survey is designed to provide further information which will be used to develop our induction programme for trainees in the future. We plan to share this information as widely as possible so your contribution could potentially make a significant difference to future trainees.

This is a reminder to complete Part 2 whether you completed part 1 or not.

There is an opportunity to provide more in depth feedback as outlined in the final question. 

To access the survey please log onto

If possible, please complete the survey in one sitting since you will not be able to access it later. It should only take you approximately 10 minutes to complete. The questionnaire is anonymous and your thoughts and comments are greatly appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to complete this questionnaire.

About the NETS

At Health Education England (HEE), our job is to support you to learn to deliver excellent care to patients by ensuring that you are supported to work in a safe clinical environment. We do this by working with employers, universities, colleges, professional regulators and health and care providers to ensure that key
requirements, such as good induction programmes, clinical supervision and access to learning opportunities, are in place and available to all trainees and students.

You understand your learning environment better than anyone else
You know the learning environment in which you work and train better than anyone else and your feedback is important in identifying when things are working well and when they could be improved. The NETS is an opportunity to say what you think about the quality of your education and training, including areas of good practice.

Why it’s so important to share feedback
This is about ensuring that you have access to everything you need to develop the skills, values and behaviours to learn to deliver safe and effective care. Your feedback is vital in understanding the standards of care provided to patients.
