Clinician Researcher ‘Needs Analysis’ Survey
The VCRN ‘Clinician Researcher Needs Analysis’ survey was conducted in 2011 to determine research capacity in hospitals and identify clinician researchers’ needs. Distributed through 15 research-active hospitals across Victoria, Biomedical Research Victoria was thrilled to receive responses from 1027 VCRN members to make this survey the largest of its kind ever conducted in Australia. Thank you to everyone who took the time to participate.
Survey respondents were primarily employed in public hospitals, with comparable numbers of medical doctors, nurses and allied health professionals represented, most of whom were early-mid career. The responses confirmed that there are many research-qualified or -experienced individuals who are currently not participating in research. Protected time for research clearly emerged as the most important determinant of the ability of clinicians to participate in research.
Preliminary findings from the survey informed BioMedVic’s contributions to the McKeon Strategic Review of Health and Medical Research.
Significantly, the survey results have now been published:
