NHS England¹s clinician survey on patients taking a more active role in their healthcare

Patients with long term conditions self-manage their condition at home the majority of the time. They have different levels of knowledge, skills and confidence in managing their own health and care – we describe this as the patient's 'activation' level.

 

Clinicians have different training, orientations and views about a patient's role in their care which results in different approaches when working with people with long term conditions. NHS England is carrying out this survey with doctors, nurses and allied health professionals to understand these views and approaches. It will help us to develop a baseline of clinicians' attitudes across the range of professionals and understand their support needs in this area.

 

Your response is very important and the survey will take less than 10 minutes to complete. To complete the survey, please go tohttps://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CS-PAM_AHPs

 

The survey closes on 12 December. All responses are anonymous and not associated with any personally identifiable information. Aggregated results will be published and shared with stakeholders.
