NHS Co-ordination Centre
The survey Co-ordination Centre develops and carries out national patient experience survey programmes in England on behalf of the regulator. This includes running the acute trust surveys since the national patient survey programme began in 2002.
The Co-ordination Centre has developed surveys to investigate the experiences of patients in many different areas of care, including:
- adult inpatient services
- young adult inpatient services
- maternity services
- accident and emergency departments
- outpatient departments
- ambulance services (both emergency and 'Category C')
- primary care services
- cancer care
- heart disease/CHD services
- stroke care.
The role of the survey Co-ordination Centre
- develops survey instruments and publishes accompanying documentation
- advises participating trusts on how to conduct surveys
- collates, checks and analyses the national survey data
- produces reports for the regulator.
