ED opt-out BBV testing animation

The animation

Researchers at the Health Protection Research Unit at University of Bristol have developed a short video animation providing recommendations about the emergency department (ED) optout blood-borne viruses (BBV) testing programme.

The animation was developed using helpful insights and recommendations gathered from the qualitative interviews conducted in Wave 1 sites.

We would greatly appreciate if you could complete the following survey to provide feedback on the learnings, confidence gained and usefulness of the animation.

Completing the survey

This survey has been created to evaluate the impact of the animation and is entirely optional and anonymous. There are a total of six questions and the survey should only take a few minutes to answer.

We will ask which hospital you work in and your job role i.e. nurse, health care practitioner, but we will not be able to identify who completed the survey, and no-one will be able to work out who you are from any findings published.

Any data you provide will be securely stored on the University of Bristol network in a folder with access limited to the study researchers. We will also follow all privacy rules. If you have any questions, please email: edoptout-hpru@bristol.ac.uk.
