Research feedback

Patient Research Experience Survey is managed
by NIHR Clinical Research Network Kent, Surrey and Sussex

If you are taking part in a research trial at East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, then we’d like to know what you think.

Please complete a Participant Research Experience Survey (details below) managed by the NIHR South East Regional Research Delivery Network (RRDN)

It is part of the work we are doing together to get the views of people across Kent, Surrey and Sussex. NIHR Clinical Research Network Kent, Surrey and Sussex provides funding across the region to cover the service support costs of research and promote high quality research opportunities for patients in health and social care settings.

How to take part in the survey

You can complete the survey on the NIHR Patient Research Experience survey website:

Adult PRES – Participant Research Experience Survey 2025/26

0-6 aged – Children’s Participant Research Experience Survey 2025/26

7-11 aged – Children’s Participant Research Experience Survey 2025/26

12-15 aged – Children and young people – Participant Research Experience Survey 2025/26

Taking part in the survey is voluntary and only takes up to five minutes to complete.

The information you give us will help us to understand:

  • what works best for patients in the way we do research in the NHS
  • where we can make helpful changes in the way we do things

We won’t ask for any personal information and your answers will be shared anonymously with local research delivery teams and with the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) to help improve research. Whether you decide to complete the survey or not, your treatment or your participation in research won’t be affected.
