Open Monday - Friday 9.30am - 5pm
Patients Association reports cover a range of topics across health and social care.
Through listening to patients, their families and the professionals caring for them, we address issues around access to services, patient engagement, quality of care and patient safety.
Our focus is on improving patient experience, and recommendations in our reports help to form the basis of our future campaigns.
Older reports not published on this website are available on request from [email protected], where we still hold them. Please note that the Patients Association's archives up to c.1996 are held by the Wellcome Collection.
