Background to Accessibility of the Patient Journey to Hospital

Healthcare providers, such as hospitals and GPs, must ensure that their services are accessible to all, throughout the entirety of the patient journey.

This survey aims to explore your experiences with accessibility throughout your patient journey at local hospitals.
