Student Survey: Hypermobility Awareness Project
This anonymous survey is open to all RNCM students, whether or not you experience hypermobility. Its main aim is to better understand how common hypermobility may be within the student population, and to gain a general sense of how comfortable students feel discussing any playing-related difficulties and where they tend to seek support.
The survey does not diagnose hypermobility or pain, and all responses are valuable, including from students who have never experienced hypermobility or any playing-related concerns. The questionnaire takes approximately 5–10 minutes to complete, and full details are provided in the participant information sheet linked in the survey.
If you have any questions about this questionnaire, please contact Greta Gasser at greta.gasser@rncm.ac.uk.
Thank you!
