Health Surveys Service

We have the expertise and experience of running complex health surveys for other organisations, both local and national.

Page contents

We can:

  • offer advice on running and commissioning surveys
  • commission and manage whole surveys on your behalf
  • include additional questions or demographic boosts in existing surveys

By drawing on our data expertise and surveys experience, we can provide:

  • independently conducted surveys that result in trustworthy data
  • high quality and timely data
  • a central national capacity for health surveys - this saves resource in other local and national organisations
