ASCEND SERVICE | TEAM SURVEY<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Service | Team Survey<\/strong> (left button) should be completed by a team representative<\/strong> who can provide information about your service<\/strong>‘s staffing, caseload, workload, and service delivery model.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
ASCEND INDIVIDUAL CLINICIAN SURVEY<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Individual Clinician Survey<\/strong> (right button) is intended for all clinicians and clinical support assistants to complete individually. Each clinician should submit their own survey, in addition to a single Team Survey completed on behalf of their service.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

*To help us produce robust and meaningful recommendations, we would be grateful if you could refer to your service data where possible, rather than relying on memory or estimates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Before completing the survey, please take a moment to review the survey guidance and supporting documents below. These documents contain important information such as what data to prepare before you start, definitions of key terms, explanations and examples for contributors and essential privacy information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparing your answers<\/strong> | Please use service records, job plans, diaries or other available information wherever reasonably possible, rather than relying solely on memory. Accurate and sufficiently complete responses will strengthen ASCEND\u2019s analysis and its recommendations for safer staffing, sustainable workloads and high-quality care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Your confidential linkage code<\/strong> | The surveys do not ask for names, contact details or service names. Please follow the coding instructions in the Before You Begin guidance<\/a> carefully. The code allows related team and individual responses to be matched for triangulation and may help ASCEND locate a submission if a correction or withdrawal is requested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Completing the survey<\/strong> | Most questions are optional, allowing you to complete the information available and return to more detailed sections later. Every question nevertheless contributes to ASCEND\u2019s aims, so please answer as fully and accurately as reasonably possible. After submitting, select Save my response to edit<\/strong> and keep the resulting link and your confidential linkage code securely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the best experience, complete and review the survey on a desktop or laptop. Use the Back<\/strong> and Next<\/strong> buttons to move between sections; questions marked with an asterisk (*) must be answered before you can continue or submit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Support<\/strong> | We want participation to be as straightforward as possible. If you have a question, encounter a problem or have a suggestion, please contact the ASCEND team through the Contact page<\/a> and check the Project Updates<\/a> page for current information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
