GENERAL PRACTICE IMMUNISATION COORDINATOR SURVEY
 
 
Welcome to our survey for General Practice Immunisation Coordinators, being conducted by the Victorian Cytology Service.

The aim of this survey is to identify characteristics of general practices who did not notify HPV vaccine doses administered to the Register. This will help us to understand the potential impact on the vaccination coverage recorded on the Register.

It will take approximately four minutes to complete the questionnaire, depending however upon whether you can easily access information about characteristics of your Division. You can exit the survey at any time and return later by pressing the ‘save and continue button’ and entering your email address.

Your survey responses will be strictly confidential and information collected will be reported only in an aggregated format. If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, you may contact Julia Brotherton on (03)8417-6819 or by email at [email protected].

Thank you very much for your time and support. Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Continue button below.

In your opinion, what reasons do you think would explain why practices or GPs DID NOT notify doses to the HPV register? Please rank in order of importance (with 1 being most important and 5 being the least important) for practices in your division:
They did not provide the HPV vaccine
They were unaware of how to notify
They were too busy/did not get around to it
They decided it was not worth the effort for the $6 per dose payment
They were concerned about patient consent (i.e. did not collect consent initially)
Not sure
 
 
Other
   
 
 
 
Do you have any other feedback about the HPV Register?
   
 
 
 
Can you identify a practice in your division who DID NOT notify (or who you suspect did not) who might be willing to complete a short phone interview about why they decided not to? If so, we would love to get feedback from them.
 
Yes
 
No
 
 
 
We would appreciate it if you could contact the practice you identified, to confirm they did not notify HPV doses to the Register, and seek consent for a project officer from the Victorian Cytology Service, operators of the Register, to contact them.

If possible, please email us (at [email protected]) with their preferred name and contact details after consent is obtained. If needed, we can also provide an information sheet to assist the practice with the decision to participate. If the practice prefers to remain anonymous, we would still be happy to speak to them and we can arrange a time for the practice to call us.
 
 
If we haven’t heard from you about whether the practice is happy to participate in the next few weeks we will send you a reminder email. Is this ok?
 
Yes – please email and remind me
 
No – please don’t email me.
