Maternity Survey
This CQC maternity survey plays a vital role in understanding the experiences of women who use maternity services. The data from this annual survey is used to inform the CQC’s trust ratings and highlight risk areas which may need attention – essential to providing high-quality care. For the CQC Maternity Survey 2019, we worked with over 60 NHS trusts – over half of those who take part.
In addition to our approved contractor status, we ran the survey in 2020, leaving us excellently placed to consider trends through the Covid-19 pandemic. From 2021, the survey introduced a mixed-mode approach (digital and print) to collect its 15,000 responses.
