    The launch of the Heart Failure online organisational questionnaire

    NCEPOD is pleased to announce the launch of the organisational questionnaire for our Heart Failure study. It is the first questionnaire that we have produced in an electronic format. If you are a local reporter with one or more hospitals participating in the Heart Failure study, you will receive an email from the following email address ncepod-questionnaires@sunstonetechnology.com which invites you to register with our new online questionnaire system over the next few weeks.

    Once registered you will then be able to access the Heart Failure study Organisational Questionnaire for the hospital(s) at which you are a Local Reporter. As well as allowing you to directly complete and submit a questionnaire for each hospital, the NCEPOD online questionnaire system allows you to invite people to help you complete the questionnaire, should you require specific input. We strongly suggest liaising with the invitee before using this function. The online system also allows you to see the progress of the questionnaire when it is being completed by an invitee. Once the questionnaire is completed, you (and not any invitees) have the ‘administrative rights’ to submit the questionnaire.

    The system has already been piloted with a number of Local Reporters so hopefully it will prove relatively simple to use but if you have any queries regarding the online questionnaire system or Heart Failure organisational questionnaire, please do not hesitate to contact us on 0207 251 9060 or email us at info@ncepod.org.uk.
