MHP Evaluation (MHP) - Gloucestershire Primary Care Workforce Centre

Recognising the success of the Mental Health Practitioner role in general practice, NHS Gloucestershire are asking MHPs in post to undertake a short evaluation; to share the benefits the role has delivered along with any suggestions as an MHP, as to how we build upon this for the future. Noting this, we would really appreciate if you could complete the following short survey, which should take no more than 5-10 mins.

Please note that whilst we’d strongly encourage you to complete the survey so that we can hear your views and ideas. The survey is anonymous, but you can leave your PCN details if you wanted to (entirely optional) – if you did choose to share your PCN, please note that this will information will be treated in the strictest of confidence.

We would like to thank you in anticipation for taking the time to complete the survey and look forward to receiving your feedback in due course.

Please complete the Survey by 9th June
