Mental Health Collaborative Surgery Access Project: online questionnaire

Thank you for taking part in this survey.

We want to find out about patients’ experiences of getting support for wellbeing and mental health in GP Surgeries across Sheffield. We want to understand what barriers exist, and what might help improve things.

At the end of the project, we will be writing a report (including recommendations for improvement), that will be shared with people who make decisions about health services in Sheffield.

Responses remain anonymous at all times – by completing this survey you are agreeing that we can use the information you share in the way we have described. All responses will be stored in line with ReThink Mental Health's GDPR policy.

The project has been pioneering by Tammy Raines and Lived Experience Sheffield after an initial pilot and is now being facilitated by the Mental Health Collaborative, part of ReThink Mental Health's work in Sheffield.

We appreciate you taking the time to complete this survey which should only take a few minutes.
