Help us improve cancer care for everyone
If you have had treatment at this NHS trust you may soon be asked to take part in NHS England’s National Cancer Patient Experience Survey. The survey helps us monitor what's working well and what could be improved for future cancer patients. All NHS patients who have cancer related care or treatment as an inpatient or day case in March, April, May or June 2025 will be contacted to take part in a survey.
Taking part in the survey is voluntary and all answers are confidential.
If you are invited, we will use your personal details to send you a letter explaining how to take part. We will also contact some people by text message to help us understand how to deliver the survey in the future. We will only use your details to carry out a survey. These details will be provided by this NHS trust. Your personal information will be handled securely and confidentially. We will not publish any information which might identify you.
If you do not want to take part, or have any questions about the survey, please contact this NHS trust by Friday 4th July 2025:

You will still need to contact us if you have a National Data Opt Out. The Department of Health and Social Care has confirmed that this survey is exempt.

The survey will be carried out by Picker on behalf of NHS England. An independent oversight group, including members of the public, has provided support for confidential patient information to be accessed to identify and invite people with cancer to respond to this survey.
