Welcome to The Patients Association
The Patients Association is a national charity providing patients with an opportunity to raise concerns and share experiences of healthcare.
Through our Helpline, correspondence and research we learn from patients the issues that are of concern and work towards improving the healthcare we all receive.

The NHS at 60 - The Patients Association Survey
This year the NHS is 60 years old.
It is a good time for an in depth look at how it works. Can it survive as it is? Should changes be made to the whole way we deal with healthcare in the UK?
No-one is asking PATIENTS themselves. Patients are the customers of health services and shareholders in the NHS.
So we would like YOUR views – to just 10 questions. Help us to bring patients views to the debate on the future of the NHS.
SHARE YOUR OPINIONS IN OUR NHS PATIENT SURVEY
