Waiting for Replies

I am currently waiting for replies from my dental surgeries. Broomfield orthodontic surgery has said yes to having my questionnaire left in the waiting room which is a start. I did want to be there while the questionnaires were completed as i could see there was not influence between patients. However this a good start as i will be able to compare to surgeries.

The dental clinic in chelmsford are currently looking at my questionnaire but my client is on holiday until the end of next week.

Whilst waiting for replies i am going to complete my literary review by using the Harvard referencing system.

First Supervisor Meeting

After the first supervisor meeting on the 11th October there were several ideas brought forward. I have made some changes on my questionnaire before giving it to my client on Monday 15th October.

In the first supervisor meeting we also went over the literature found of my final project subject. Now i have several books, papers, journals and websites i need to form a bibliography and a literature review.

I have also come up with several more

Background Research

I have assigned my supervisor on the 1st October and we arranged our first meeting on the 11th October. Before this meeting i must complete my beginning background research and my proposal form needs to be handed in by the 5th October

I have an appointment at the library training centre to learn more about searching for journals. I will be using books from the university and Chelmsford town library.

Once these resoursce have been gathered i will have to use the harvard referncing system to show I have looked at them while completing my final project.

Pilot questionnaire

I have designed a pilot questionnaire to us in dental surgeries and in public. The questionnaire is currently with my main client who is going to look over the content and suggest any improvements. I will use the feedback to improve my questionnaire before completing the questions with the patients.

My Brief

How would you re-design the 'dental experience'? Examine the whole 'user journey' and explore how a innovative, design-led method could unlock new solutions and approaches to improve this aspect of health care. This should involve consideration of interaction between patient and practice before and after visiting the surgery, also consider the the flow of patients in the surgery.
