TOPDOC diabetes survey

Dear All,

May I request you all, on behalf of the topdocdiabetes (Trainees Own Perception of Delivery Of Care in Diabetes) survey team to help with this nationwide survey looking at the confidence levels among the junior doctors in management of diabetes. One of of our previous SpRs, now a consultant in Glsgow Royal Infirmary, Gerry Mckay leads the national steering committee. The study is sponsored by ABCD.

If you can forward this mail with the information below to all the juniors in your trust and encourage them to complete the online questionnaire, which will take not more than 5 minutes, will be very helpful. There are some prizes for the participants and also we may manage some grants for our CME fund. I particularly request my fellow SpRs to take an active interest and help with this project.

If any further information is needed, please let me know.

Sincere regards
Arut

May I draw your attention to TOPDOC Diabetes-a national study of foundation and specialty trainees in all specialties looking at their confidence levels in management of diabetes. The study is available at www.topdocdiabetes.org and over 450 juniors have already responded.


This is a UK-wide survey of foundation doctors and specialist trainees from all specialities, looking at their confidence levels in the management of diabetes. The study is funded by Association of British Clinical Diabetologists and follows from a national pilot that showed a lack of confidence in managing aspects of diabetes care, including the management of diabetes emergencies.


All details are available at www.topdocdiabetes.org and the survey takes only 5 minutes to complete. On behalf of the national steering committee, I'll be most grateful if you would forward this email to foundation and specialty trainees in your hospital. -please encourage all your juniors to do this study.
