The NHS has launched its national Cancer Patient Experience Survey (CPES), asking for feedback from cancer patients who are 16 years and over, to inform and improve local cancer services across England.
The NHS wants patients to have the best experience possible and hearing about patients’ experiences is crucial in helping to deliver what they need and want.
The NHS and cancer charities use the results to understand what is working well and which areas need improvement. The results enable them to identify national and local priorities and work with patients and partners to deliver improvements.
Those who were treated for cancer as an inpatient or day-case, and left hospital in April, May or June 2023, will be invited to take part in the survey.
If you receive an invitation, please fill out the questionnaire and have your say so that the NHS can deliver the best possible service to patients. If you need support completing the survey or need it made available in another language. you can call the free helpline number 0800 103 2804.

For those aged 16 and under, feedback is collected via the Under 16 Cancer Patient Experience Survey: www.under16cancerexperiencesurvey.co.uk.
