Format for Interviews
Is this the best person to talk to?
Talking to the wrong people wastes energy and gives a false impression of the market. It is important to establish whether the person you are talking to has first-hand experience and whether they will buy the product?
Tony to consider how to reach 4-6 people in the right market? // At least half - new dentists (possibly 2 focus groups of 3?).
If anything confidential will be discussed, you may wish to ask the participant to sign a confidentiality agreement. It is your responsibility to ensure that the proper data protection is in place.
It is helpful to write interviews in the 2nd person in a natural tone of voice so that you are able to read the questions directly. The general principle is to ask an open-ended question and allow the person to answer, then to follow it with more specific questions to clarify why they think a certain way, for further detail or to check specific assumptions.
Background
For a realistic insight into how your customers think, it’s important to start with background questions before introducing concepts. If we introduce the product/ assumptions too early, we will bias the responses.

2. What do you enjoy and what do you dislike about the job?
3. What does your routine tend to look like day-to-day?
Probe: times for admin / between patients - how do they use them?
Themes
Aim for a few good, open ended questions to keep the conversation on track.
Think about the emotions involved as well as the functional benefits.
Make sure that you ‘dig’ deep enough to uncover reasons why. (eg If they say that convenience is important to them, it’s important that you find out what that looks like for them.)

Questions to be framed and order changed
The theme to the practice will be basing an application to support funding for an App to promote Oral cancer early diagnosis. If we get funding the content and the scoring for oral health can be verified and improved, but show most dentists are happy with is and show results, and explain previous surveys positive.
App is free download, free for all the dental team.
A minimal charge for dentists, as they advertise themselves more
Need to check what the Application for NHS funding needs.
Include future teledentistry and language
The following were my initial notes, and there I made the survey. Any suggestions?
