MyDay Survey with Health Education England, Working Across Wessex

Researchers used MyDay, a purpose-built web-based survey tool, to collect anonymous data from up to 2100 junior doctors about their wellbeing at work. Participants listed tasks they did in five short windows of time, and how they felt doing each task. The research set out to provide a rich and useful picture of the experienced wellbeing of this key workforce.
