CTMES Member Survey

Tēnā koutou CTMES Members, Before our AGM and Short Conference we are inviting anyone in your organisation to complete a survey focusing primarily on compliance and programme approvals. This is an opportunity for CTMES to identify common issues and areas where CTMES can provide additional support and resources. The Survey can be found here.

We are asking for names in case we need to contact you to find out more details, but the aggregated survey results will be anonymised. Thank you for your participation in the survey!
