A survey exploring the perceptions, attitudes and experiences of UK veterinary professionals towards adverse drug reaction (ADR) reporting has been launched.
Conducted by researchers at the University of Liverpool, the survey aims to study how the safety of veterinary medicines can be improved through the use of information systems.
Better understanding
To do this, researchers would like to gain a better understanding of:
- why and how veterinary professionals in the UK report ADRs
- barriers that may discourage people from reporting
- views on how the existing system for reporting ADRs could be improved by the use of information technology
Short survey
Researcher and PhD student Heather Davies said: “Vets and vet nurses: we need your help. We’re hoping to gather as many of your opinions and experiences as possible, so we’d be really grateful if you could complete the survey.
“It’s relatively short – 10 to 15 minutes – and can be completed anonymously, with the option to leave your contact details for follow-up.”
Queries can be sent directly to the researchers – Ms Davies or supervisor David Killick.
