How Multi-disciplinary Staff View Ward Rounds
This Questionnaire was devised for the purpose of a small-scale service related project
conducted as part of the Doctoral course in Clinical Psychology at Hertfordshire
University. It aims to find out what aspects of a ward round different professionals think
are most important. It will also ask you to comment on the running of the ward round(s)
you attend. The information you supply will not include your name and therefore will be
anonymous.
