About NHS patient surveys
Listening to patients' views is essential to providing a patient-centred health service.
The NHS patient survey programme systematically gathers the views of patients about the care they have recently received.
This website is for those involved in the survey programme including NHS trusts, survey contractors, and patients who have been asked to complete a questionnaire.
This survey co-ordination centre, run by Picker Institute Europe, co-ordinates the NHS acute and primary care patient survey programmes on behalf of the Care Quality Commission. Its role includes:
- developing questionnaires and accompanying documentation
- advising on how to conduct survey
- collating, checking and analysing survey data
The co-ordination centres for surveys of mental health and long-term conditions are run by researchers from the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen)
