The findings of NPES 2018, tell us what matters to you as patients and about the important improvements that can be made to improve hospital services across Ireland.

Thank you to all of the staff of the participating hospitals for encouraging patients to participate in the survey, and for their participation in the discussions and review of the feedback received and the development of the quality improvement response which is presented in this paper. The survey was overseen by a National Steering Group, a Project Team and an Advisory Group. We acknowledge the direction and guidance provided by the members of these groups.
