Human trafficking survey
My name is Sohani Dassanayake and I am a medical student who is currently doing a Medical Ethics, Law. And Humanities research project as part of my iBSc.
My project is focused on the topic of human trafficking and I am interested in researching what healthcare professionals can do to help the victims if trafficking.
Human trafficking is both a global and local problem, and healthcare professionals working in the UK are likely to meet people who have been trafficked at some point during their careers. They are also well placed to support people who have been trafficked.
I am seeking the views of medical students, doctors and nurses because I wish to learn more about their knowledge of human trafficking. This will help me to analyse the problems posed by human trafficking and help me to explore strategies that might enable healthcare professionals to better support people who have been trafficked.
The following survey should take no longer than about 5 minutes to complete. You are not in any way obliged to take part in this research. The data collected in the survey will be anonymised and all information will be kept confidential.

If you have any questions about the survey please contact my supervisor, Dr. Carwyn Rhys Hooper, by email: chooper@sgul.ac.uk
