GP satisfaction with tool-assisted consultation flow and outcome
GPs in the Decision tool arm were invited to complete a satisfaction survey at the end of their time in the trial. There were five GP practices in the Decision tool arm, although only four of these practices saw at least one patient and the practice not having any eligible patients also did not return a GP satisfaction questionnaire. Only 3/5 practices overall responded to the survey.The responses from the survey are presented in Supplementary Table E. To summarise:2/5 GPs found the decision tool to be ‘Possibly helpful’, 1/5 ‘Definitely helpful’ and 2/5 did not respond.3/5 found the tool ‘Slightly easy’ or ‘Easy’ to use; 2/5 did not respond.3/5 indicated that they ‘Weakly support’ recommending that the EMIS Antidepressant Advisor tool be used in future clinical practice; 2/5 did not respond.
