Bespoke versus alternative questionnaires for doctors

Collecting patient and colleague feedback is not a ‘one-size-fits-all’ process, and at Doctor 360, we recognise the need for flexibility. That’s why we offer a comprehensive range of alternative questionnaires, alongside our standard questionnaires and a bespoke 360 feedback service, to meet doctors’ unique requirements.  

Our validated questionnaires  

We provide an array of GMC and role-validated questionnaires tailored specifically for different roles. These include the well-established ‘Doctor 360‘ and ‘Nurse 360‘, as well as our recently validated ‘Anaesthetist 360’ and ‘Radiologist 360’. Each questionnaire set is carefully designed and curated by our in-house consultant psychologists to ensure relevance and appropriateness for the role in question.  

These questionnaires are often used by medical professionals as supporting evidence for appraisal and revalidation. For added rigour, feedback from specialists working in these clinical roles is incorporated during the validation phase, ensuring the content is both accurate and representative.  

Alternative questionnaires  

Our offering goes beyond standard formats. Our suite of alternative questionnaires is designed to meet a broader range of needs and roles. These are particularly helpful for professionals undertaking non-traditional positions or leadership responsibilities. Here are some highlights from our range of alternative options, currently undergoing a trial phase for future GMC validation: 

• Medico-Legal 360.  
• Clinical Leader 360.  
• Non-Clinical 360.  
• Dentist 360.  
• DVLA Medical Advisor 360.  
• Physician Associate 360.  
• Practice Manager 360.  
• Medical Examiner 360.  

Each questionnaire is designed to provide tailored insights into areas such as communication, leadership, and inter-personal effectiveness.  

Customised support with bespoke questionnaires  

For those with highly specific or unique requirements, our bespoke questionnaire service offers complete flexibility, whether you’re an organisation looking to align feedback tools to your competencies and values, or you need specially tailored patient or colleague questionnaires.  

Our bespoke process can integrate existing questions into the Doctor 360 platform or work with you to develop a brand-new solution from the ground up. Our experienced consultants guide you through each stage, ensuring your feedback tool is precisely tailored to your needs.  

We’ve had the pleasure of creating bespoke solutions for notable organisations including: 

• Lancashire Teaching Hospitals.  
• Faculty of Pharmaceutical Medicine.  
• The Medical Council.  

 And there’s more …. 

We also process pre-existing feedback tools, such as Royal College of Physicians questionnaires, Royal College of Anaesthetist questionnaires, and General Medical Council patient questionnaires, offering simplicity and consistency in the feedback process.
