Dear all,
Our survey officially closed yesterday 15th October and we have had 2,382 responses!
We are making the survey accessible for another day or two for late responders: www.hifa.org/survey2023
I want to again thank all those who have helped make this happen:
Our individual members who have given their time to complete the survey
Our lead funders: National Institute for Health and Care Research, Elsevier Foundation (I hope to announce a third lead funder shortly)
Our personal donors: Vikram Patel, Geoff Royston (and others)
Our bronze sponsors (£100+): ecancer, Instituto Antonio Vidal, International League of Dermatological Societies, Enablement, CABI, International Primary Care Respiratory Group
Our technical partners: JBI, E4GDH, Digital Medic, Costello Medical, Digital Medic at Stanford University
In-kind support from: The BMJ, The Lancet, World Medical Association
This has been a tremendous collective effort. We shall now collect all the responses and work with Digital Medic at Stanford University to analyse and interpret the results with a view to prepare a final report for the World Health Organization by December 2023.
Best wishes, Neil
