2017 National Maternity survey

The 2017 Maternity Survey is part of a national survey programme run by CQC to collect feedback on the experiences of women using NHS maternity services across the country.  The results contribute to CQC’s assessment of NHS performance as well as on-going monitoring and inspections.  The programme also provides valuable feedback for NHS trusts, which they can then use to improve patient experience.

Between April and August 2017 questionnaires will be sent out to a sample of women who gave birth in February 2017.

Obtaining feedback from patients is vital for bringing about improvements in the quality of care and this is an excellent way for women to directly influence services locally.

If you have any queries or questions about supporting the promotion of this survey, please contact patient.survey@cqc.org.uk
