The purpose of this survey of UK doctors is to help inform our policy on the use of advanced practitioners in the NHS. It will help us understand how they are being used and their impact on the medical profession.
Advanced practice refers to a level of practice for non-medical health and care professionals, rather than a title, role or specialism.
Further information on advanced practice, including regulator definitions and principles, and current NHS frameworks, is available on the BMA website.
The survey should take around 10 minutes to complete.
This information is being collected to inform the BMA's policy development relating to advanced practitioners. Some demographic information may also be collected for monitoring purposes. Any data supplied will be viewed by BMA staff and, where appropriate, elected members. This data may include incomplete responses where the respondent has exited the survey before the final submission page. Data will be retained by the BMA for a period not exceeding 12 months post the closure of the survey, before final deletion. Individual identifiable data will not be shared with third parties. Anonymised or statistical data may be used publicly or shared with third parties. Participants should not provide personal data of any person unless they are specifically asked to do so.
