2024 Adult Inpatient Survey

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is recruiting patients to participate in focus groups to help develop the 2024 Adult Inpatient Survey

They would like to recruit a selection of patients across England to join a 90-minute informal patient group discussion on their experiences of using NHS inpatient services. Feedback from these discussions will help them to develop the 2024 Adult Inpatient questionnaire. 

Key information:

• Two focus groups will be conducted virtually with max. five patients in each group
• Each focus group discussion will last 90 minutes
• Each focus group will be led by a researcher from the Survey Coordination Centre (SCC) team who are coordinating the survey at a national level as part of the NHS Patient Survey Programme (NPSP), on behalf of the CQC.
• Participants will be rewarded for their participation with a £40 ‘Love to shop’ or ‘Amazon’ voucher
