Share your experience to help shape healthcare

Your experiences of the NHS matter and they can drive real change. The Patients Association works directly with patients to inform recommendations that influence health and care policy, hold decision-makers to account, and improve how services partner with patients.

The Association is asking for ten minutes of your time to complete its Patient Experience survey. It wants to hear about your experiences with NHS services over the last six months: what’s working well, what isn’t, and what needs to change.

Your responses will be used in a report to support the Association’s campaigning and advocacy work, helping to make the strongest possible case to government, the NHS, and policymakers for the improvements patients need and deserve.

The Patients Association is working with LBC Radio to understand whether patients are experiencing delays or difficulties receiving their test results and want to hear from you.

If you’ve had trouble accessing your NHS test results since January 2023, your experience could help support an investigation into what’s going wrong and where improvements are needed. They’re particularly interested in delays, unclear communication, or issues linked to new digital systems, staffing pressures, or lost results.
