A group of five people hugged together on a blue and white infographic about the National Cancer Patient Experience Survey.

Each year the National Cancer Patient Experience survey (NCPES) allows patients aged 16 years and older to give feedback on the care they have received.

The feedback helps the NHS to improve patient experience of existing cancer care services.

Make sure to complete the National Cancer Patient Experience Survey if you are invited; it could help shape cancer care services of the future.
