NHS Health Check Questionaires

22/4/2013

0 Comments

 
Picture
Due to the transition of the Public Health Team from the PCT to Local Authority in April 2013 they no longer have access to the Survey Monkey (it was a contractual arrangement with the PCT which no longer exists). 

The whole NHS Health Check Programme has now been fully evaluated for both community (pharmacy) providers and GP providers and it has been proven from this evaluation that people value the service that has been provided in GP and community settings. 

As part of future evaluation methods the NHS Health Check programme will now have periods of evaluation on a random basis, whereby public health  will invite pharmacies/GPs to carry out random sampling of (say) x 10 health checks that you would undertake when you would also request the participant to complete a questionnaire on their check.  These questionnaire would then be returned to Public Health Team for evaluation methods.

The public health team, therefore, no longer require all pharmacies to complete the Survey Monkey, however,  they will contact various pharmacies as part of this new random sampling process in the near future.
