Clinician surveys – time to make better use of this valuable resource for dermatologists

Abstract

Clinician surveys can be a useful resource to identify uncertainties in practice, determine expert or current opinion, define research priorities (as part of a priority setting partnership) and demonstrate feasibility of undertaking randomised clinical trials (RCT). Online survey programs such as SurveyMonkey^™ or Google surveys provide a simple step-by-step process to develop electronic surveys at little or no cost. These can be distributed using an email link to a nationwide audience via society membership groups.
