VALUED Trainee Survey 2018-19

VALUED trainee survey

Thank you to those that completed the VALUED training survey last year.

The responses from that survey were invaluable in helping identify areas for improvement in the training of junior doctors and dentists in Northern Ireland. Throughout the year I have been updating you on how these responses have resulted in positive change to enhance the training, and working lives', of NIMDTA trainees.

To ensure training continues to improve it is vital that we are aware of ways in which you feel your training could be better. Taking five minutes to complete the following survey will provide NIMDTA with information to help do this. So please help us to improve training by providing honest feedback to the following questions.

Please use white boxes to provide further information. We will let you know how your feedback will help improve training through the trainee newsletters and the NIMDTA website.
