Your views are important to us – 2026 National Adult Inpatient Survey

Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is taking part in the 2026 National Adult Inpatient Survey to find out what patients think about their care and experience in hospital.

This annual survey is part of the NHS Patient Survey Programme managed by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and will look at the experience of patients aged 16 years or older, who spend one night or more in one of our hospitals as an inpatient at either Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, Royal Hampshire County Hospital or Andover War Memorial Hospital in November 2026 and are not admitted to maternity units.

If patients are invited to take part, your name, phone number, and postal address will be shared with researchers so they can send you an invitation and text-message reminders. You can complete the survey online or on paper. The NHS Adult Inpatient Survey has Section 251 (NHS Act 2006) approval to process contact details. An approved survey contractor, Picker Institute Europe, is administering the survey on behalf of the Trust.

Taking part is voluntary and all answers are confidential. Feedback from the survey helps us understand patients’ experiences, recognise what is working well and identify where we can improve care.

If you do not wish to take part, or have any questions about the survey, please contact the PALS and Complaints Team at palsandcomplaints@hhft.nhs.uk or 01256 486766.
