Take part in the Pharmacy Benchmark Survey and earn 800 Reward Points for Amazon Vouchers!
Dear sir/madam,
CIG Research (a division of Communications International Group and publisher of Pharmacy Magazine, Training Matters, P3 and Independent Community Pharmacist) is conducting a programme of research covering key aspects of your pharmacy business and your views on its operation, and we'd greatly appreciate your help with this study. The survey is in three parts, and you may already have completed surveys 1 and 2. If you haven't, you can do this by returning to the invitation email and clicking on the separate links to each of these:
1. Your views on retail pharmacy in the UK and your own role
2. Your views on the professional associations supporting this sector
3. Employment and remuneration survey
This research will build into the single most comprehensive benchmarking study of its kind, and our intention is to run it as an annual study to monitor changes in different parts of the market, across different job roles and demography. YOU MAY CHOOSE TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS. If you choose to include your contact details, they will be completely confidential to CIG Research and will not be used for any other purpose than to monitor your reward points and to send you each survey.
Each of the three surveys will take 10-15 minutes to complete, and you will earn 200 Award Points for completing each, plus a bonus of 200 points for completing all three. Together with points you have already accrued, you can redeem these for Amazon vouchers worth £20 for every 500 points.
Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Continue button below.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Yours faithfully
Adrian Wistreich
Research Director
