WOW!! What a fantastic response to the survey. A big thank you to all of you who contributed. This is probably the biggest survey of its kind ever undertaken and we are optimistic that the results will be very significant. We attach the statistical report before the data have been processes. Over the next month Professor Eraut will be analysing the results and he will produce a report. We will let you know when its ready.
