To obtain the data required for this study, a self-administered survey was created on Google Forms and disseminated to final year medical students online. Google Forms, created by Google, allows for the creation of surveys and provides a means to analyse data. To prevent multiple entries, participants were required to sign in using their Google account. UK medical schools were contacted to request participation of their students. Student participation was voluntary and anonymous. The survey was disseminated by posting a link to the survey with an accompanying paragraph on relevant social media groups of the final year medical students.
