NHS Community Mental Health Survey 2024
We will soon be carrying out a survey to understand what you think about your care. The annual survey is led by the CQC and the results are published annually on their website.
This is a national survey and each year we hear the views of nearly 15,000 people. The results are crucial to improving the quality of care and people’s mental health care experiences.
Participation is voluntary and all answers are confidential. If you are invited to take part, your name, phone number and postal address will only be used by researchers to carry out the survey. Your information will not be shared with anyone else and all published data will be anonymised.
