According to the 2022 National Cancer Patient Experience survey, questions relating to the involvement of family, friends, and carers saw some of the largest positive changes in results from 2021. There are however areas for concern. With two of the largest negative changes in results from 2021 being seen for people who’d had an overnight stay for cancer care. Just over 61,000 people responded to the survey, which was coordinated by Picker on behalf of NHS England and conducted between November 2022 and February 2023, and included people aged 16 years and over with a confirmed primary diagnosis of cancer and who had been treated in hospital between April and June 2022.
