Final Magnet4Europe Survey

 



Magnet4Europe is a four-year Horizon 2020 EU-funded project that aims to improve mental health and wellbeing among health professionals in Europe. The project officially started in January 2020 and takes place in more than 60 hospitals in six European countries (Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, and United Kingdom).

As part of this project, Magnet4Europe has launched its third survey on the 26th September 2023. The survey aims to assess health professionals’ working conditions, quality of care and safety. A high response rate is crucial for the evaluation of Magnet4Europe. Therefore we invite healthcare professionals to participate in the survey if they 

Øpractice as a Nurse or Doctor in UHL
Øhave direct patient contact
Øwork on adult inpatient units including ICU and ED

 

This survey will take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete.
