Paediatric Spectacle Dispensing Questionnaire
|
|
|
OPTOMETRISTS AND DISPENSING OPTICIANS
|
|
As dispensing of spectacles to children is a regulated function, only current full registrants are being invited to take part in this research questionnaire. It is hoped the results will identify and inform any training needs required in the optical sector with regard to dispensing spectacles to children. The intention is to gather useful information on typical behaviour whilst performing this service, and also to identify any issues with both product availability and function.
The questionnaire is delivered online via Bristol Online Surveys and can be found by clicking here.
It will be open from April 15th 2015 to August 15th 2015. There are 34 questions and these are mostly multiple choice in design. The questionnaire will take approximately fifteen minutes to complete. Participation is entirely voluntary and all responses are anonymous.
Please take the time to read carefully the participant information at the beginning of the questionnaire and contact me directly if you should have any queries or require further information.
Thank you in advance.
