CERA 4 Update time!

Many thanks for all your amazing efforts with CERA.

We have had 1945 responses which is a tremendous amount. A quirk that had not been anticipated last March (amongst other things, such as us even having to do this iteration of the survey…) had been the transition to an entirely different email set-up in Scotland. I very smartly* changed all of the bounced Scottish emails to nhs.scot which, amazingly, didn’t fix the problem for everyone.

So, I’d like to extend sincere, heartfelt, big big thanks to Leia Kane and Rachel McLatchie who have painstakingly gone through their contact lists to update basically all of the bounced Scottish emails. The next round of updates will be going out to everyone tomorrow, which will hopefully give everyone a bit of time to have their say. There’s the TERN equivalent of a Blue Peter badge waiting for them both if they want to claim it.

So, the moment you’ve been waiting for – the league table.

A little bit of backstage drama – realised that I had not cohered the two entries for Leicester, so they maintain a lead over the REMEDY team at Derby and Edd Carlton & Tom Roberts at Southmead. With a week to go there’s still lots to play for, and I hope you’ll be in your changing rooms, shouting about this study and offering those little orange wedges. Let’s get those results in by the 11th and see who will reign supreme.
Thank you so much for your continued efforts & enthusiasm. TERN is contingent upon all your hard work.
Thanks again.
Rob
