Thank you for following the link to this survey of UK general practitioners (GPs).
I am investigating GP clinical practice and attitudes towards the use of brief cognitive assessment tools (such as the MMSE) as part of the process for identifying dementia in general practice.
This research is part of a wider PhD project looking at how the use of brief cognitive assessments in general practice can contribute to improved dementia diagnosis. If you would like to find out more about this and other projects, please follow the link to our University of Exeter Medical School Test Group webpage: http://medicine.exeter.ac.uk/testgroup/research/dementia/.
This survey should take around 7 minutes to complete.
By continuing you consent to taking part in the survey. Completion of the survey is taken as consent for data to be used in the ways described.
All data will be anonymised. Your responses are not traceable to you (see encryption detail below). I will use survey responses to create summary and descriptive statistics about current clinical practice and attitudes towards the use of brief cognitive assessments, and this will contribute to my PhD research. Please answer all questions as partially completed surveys will not be included in analysis.
You can withdraw from the survey at any point without giving a reason. I don't believe the survey is likely to cause you discomfort or distress, but if there is any part of it that you'd like to comment on, please contact me at h.a.hunt@exeter.ac.uk.
Thank you for your time -
