8 DISCLAIMER Sample size is not representative at country level. Sample composition varies at the country level. Sample sizes are different between Wave 1 and Wave 2 – Its important to keep that in mind when making comparisons between the changes observed in responses. In addition, some Oncology specialists might be responding to questions based on what they have actually experienced, whilst others may be based on what they believe might happen. This was a pulse survey. The questions asked are intended to provide top level insight into what Oncology specialists across the country are experiencing.
