Figure 1
The summary of research attitudes of 26 ophthalmology trainees in the North East of England. SA—Strongly agree; A—Agree; N—Neutral; D—Disagree; SD—Strongly disagree; MCS—Multicentre study. Q1: I am interested in research. Q2: Research training is important for the trainees. Q3: Research should be mandated as part of the clinical training. Q4: I am confident in conducting research. Q5: I have been given enough opportunity to participate in research. Q6: I feel that I have enough time to participate in research. Q7: I know whom to speak to if I want to participate in research. Q8: I feel that participation in multicentre studies is of low importance because I am not included as a named co-author. Q9: I am interested in participating in multicentre studies but the research subject is not within my interest. Q10: I am only interested in non-pharmaceutical led research.
