Redeployment survey

Have you been re-deployed to another specialty during the COVID-19 crisis? What’s your current grade? To which department were you re-deployed? In the last 8 weeks, what percentage of your total clinical time was spent in re-deployment? What did your role involve? How comfortable did you feel performing the role given to you? Did you receive any training/education during this period in that speciality? How valuable did you find your experience in re-deployment? Have you yourself had symptoms and/or tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 8 weeks? Any further comments regarding your experience?
