Dept. of Health Survey: What matters about the hospital environment?
21 Dec. 2012Access Advocacy, a research body working on behalf of the Department of Health, invites members of the MDS UK Patient Support Group to take part in a survey on what matters to patients and their carers about being in hospital. This will help the Department of Health to develop a new system of ‘Patient-led Inspections of Hospitals’ which will replace Patient Environment Action Team (PEAT) inspections in coming months.
It is important to hear the views of a wide range of patients and their carers. All responses will be kept completely confidential.
Please read the following and click the link to complete the survey if you are interested in taking part:
What is important about being treated in hospital?
The Department of Health is establishing a new system of patient-led inspections of the hospital environment, as announced by the Prime Minister in January. In order to develop the questions to ask the patients and their carers, it is important to find out what’s important and really matters to them about the hospital environment.
Here is an opportunity for you to contribute to this. You are invited to take part in this survey if:
- · You have experience of being treated in hospital in the last couple of years, and/or
- · You are able to represent a patient or group of patients
The survey can be found here:

Please do take a few minutes to complete the questionnaire, ideally by Friday June 1st; your feedback really matters. All responses will be completely confidential.
