The 2014 Annual Patient and Public Survey was carried out by the independent research agency Ipsos MORI on behalf of the GDC.

 

The survey features two elements: the questionnaire/survey itself, providing robust and reliable findings about the attitudes and perceptions of the general public and dental patients about their dental care and dental regulation, and qualitative interviews and focus groups which allow for more in-depth discussion and exploration of these issues.

 

The overview document outlines the topics covered in the survey and how the survey was carried out.

 

The results from the survey/questionnaire itself can be found in the topline document.

 

The full survey report includes full analysis and findings of both the survey questionnaire and the focus groups and interviews.

 

The data tables provide all the data from the survey/questionnaire and allow for comparison of the report by age, gender, type of patient, socio-economic status, nation within the UK etc.
