Scottish Radiotherapy Patient Experience Survey 2014: National Results: Volume 1

14 APPENDIX C: THE QUESTIONNAIRE

Radiotherapy Patient Experience Survey

This questionnaire is about your radiotherapy treatment. Its purpose is to provide information which can help the NHS monitor and improve the quality of health services for future patients.

Who should complete the questionnaire?

The questions should be answered by the person who has received radiotherapy treatment. If that person needs help to complete the questionnaire, the answers should be given from their point of view - not the point of view of the person who is helping.

Completing the questionnaire

For each question please tick clearly inside the box that is closest to your views using a black or blue pen. Don't worry if you make a mistake; simply cross out the mistake and put a tick in the correct box. Please do not write your name or address anywhere on the questionnaire. Once completed, please return the questionnaire using the stamped addressed envelope provided. You do not need to use a stamp - the postage is already paid.

If you would prefer, you may also complete this survey online at: www.quality-health.co.uk/sr14
To do this you will need to enter the unique login details which can be found on the letter attached with this survey.
