What service users said about care in NHS hospitals (2009)

Our 2009 survey of people who had recently had an inpatient stay for acute mental health problems was the first of its kind and collected responses from over 7,500 people.  The survey asked people all about their experiences of acute inpatient mental health services along the pathway from admission to leaving hospital, including the care and treatment they received, day-to-day activities, and relationships with staff.  National results from the survey are available by following the link below, or you may use the search box to find results for your local NHS hospital.
