Health and Care Experience Survey

Collection of documents relating to a survey asking about people’s experiences of health and care services.

Introduction

The Health and Care Experience (HACE) survey asks about people’s experiences of:

  • accessing and using their general practice and out of hours services
  • aspects of care and support provided by local authorities and other organisations
  • caring responsibilities and related support.

It is an online and postal survey sent to a random sample of people registered with a general practice in Scotland. The survey, successor to the GP and Local NHS Services Patient Experience Survey, has been run every two years since 2009.

2023 to 2024

A topic report focussing on the care experience and demographics of people with mental health issues will be published on 28 November 2024.

Results for each General Practice, General Practice Cluster, Health and Social Care Partnership and NHS Board, as well as time series trends where applicable, are available via an online dashboard hosted by Public Health Scotland.
