General Dental Council Patient and Public Survey 2013
The findings from the latest Ipsos annual survey of patients and the public for the General Dental Council.
This report contains the findings of the Annual Patient and Public Survey 2013 carried out by Ipsos for the General Dental Council. Specifically the study was designed to capture patient and public awareness and perceptions of the General Dental Council and provide insight into key policy areas. The 2013 survey followed previous surveys in 2011 and 2012, using the same methodology – a representative, face-to-face survey with c.1600 people in the UK. The 2013 study also included qualitative telephone interviews with eleven members of the public and six qualitative focus groups with 55 members of the general public. The qualitative element complemented the quantitative work as it allowed for a more exploratory approach, providing an in-depth understanding of some of the topics covered and further insights into underlying attitudes highlighted by the survey.
Technical Note: The Annual Survey questions were placed on the Ipsos Capibus survey, a weekly face to face omnibus survey of a representative sample of adults aged 15 and over in Great Britain. Fieldwork took place between 27 September and 07 October 2013. A total of 1,501 people were interviewed via Capibus in Great Britain, with 102 also interviewed in Northern Ireland, giving a total sample size of 1,603. Quotas were set and data weighted to ensure a nationally representative sample of adults aged 15 and over in Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
