Doctors and dentists in training - staff experience 2022: independent report

Response Rate

The overall response rate for DDiT 2022 was 38%. Whilst still a valid response rate, it is 3 percentage points below the DDiT 2021 response rate of 41% and notably below that achieved for iMatter 2022.

In 2022 6,640 DDiT staff were sent a survey invitation and responses were received from 2,534 staff, volumes very similar to those invited and responding to the survey in 2021.

Staff taking part in DDiT are from 17 Boards with the majority of responses coming from the larger geographic Boards (see chart following). Almost half of all DDiT responses come from NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (30%) and NHS Lothian (18%).

The other boards individually contributing over 5% of the responses are:

• NHS Grampian (13%)
• NHS Tayside (10%)
• NHS Lanarkshire (8%)

The remaining 11 boards collectively account for 15% of the DDiT responses.
