PREMS stands for Patient Reported Experience Measures. By experience, we mean how you felt about your care and treatment.
This could include what went well, but also things that might have gone better. Other areas of the NHS already have these surveys, including Cancer care and Inpatients, but this is the first time we are running one for Stroke.
It is a really exciting project and is a great opportunity for stroke survivors to have their say and help to improve stroke services.
Stroke survivors helped to design the survey and told us what really matters to you.
The questions in the survey will cover:
- Hospital stay
- Discharge from hospital
- Care and therapy after leaving hospital
- Other help, such as from the Stroke Association or other charities
- Return to work, or hobbies and activities that are important to you
The Stroke Association and NHS England are working in partnership to produce the survey.
Who will get this survey?
The survey is going to be sent to everyone who had a stroke and was admitted to hospital in England between 16 May 2022 and 16 September 2022.
Like other national surveys, we will be taking a ‘snapshot’ to compare experiences.
Taking part is voluntary, but we hope that lots of you will return the survey.
The more responses we get, the stronger the voice.
