The 2024 National Inpatient Experience Survey includes a total of 52 questions. 49 of these are structured, tick-box questions and three are open-ended (free-flow) questions. The survey covers many topics such as admission to hospital, care and treatment on the ward, trust in hospital staff, respect and dignity and discharge from hospital.

The National Inpatient Experience Survey questionnaire is reviewed annually to ensure that the questions capture the relevant experiences of hospital care.
The steps undertaken to develop the 2024 National Inpatient Experience Survey questionnaire included:
After every survey, the team publishes a technical report which provides a comprehensive description of the model and methodology of the National Inpatient Experience Survey. These technical reports are designed to provide sufficient detail to allow for repetition, replication and review.
If you require technical reports or questionnaires from 2017 – 2023 please email us at info@yourexperience.ie.
After the survey, we review how we have engaged with our partners in implementing the National Inpatient Experience Survey. We conducted an evaluation with stakeholders and used this feedback to improve our processes.
