Using technology in the NHS

We are working on a briefing on how NHS bodies are using technology and digital solutions and we are trying to assess how this is managed at a board and operational level.

The survey is short so it should take less than 10 minutes to complete. 

This survey has a 'save and continue later' option but to use this you must enter your email address and should look out for an email from 'SmartSurvey' with a link to your partially completed survey.  Please remember to check your Junk Mail for this email if it doesn't arrive in your inbox within 5 minutes.

Please could you complete the survey before 31 October 2020 - early responses are always welcomed.  If you have any questions about the survey please contact debbie.paterson@hfma.org.uk
