Patient surveys

We co-ordinate surveys to collect feedback on the experiences of people using a range of healthcare services provided by the NHS. Responses to the surveys influence the annual performance rating that we award to each trust, and can be used by the trusts to help identify where improvement may be needed.

How we carry out the surveys

We develop these surveys with either one of two research organisations:

•    The Picker Institute
•    The National Centre for Social Research (NatCen)

Both these organisations work closely with the NHS trusts carrying out the surveys and CQC. The results of the surveys are then published on this section of the site.
