Of 182 currently registered New Zealand trainees, 33 (18%) completed an online questionnaire and three open-ended questions. Most trainees agreed or strongly agreed that having protected time for research (87.5%) and access to an appropriate supervisor (87.9%) would facilitate the completion of their SP.
