Patients at The Christie have once again given positive feedback about their experience of inpatient care in the annual national adult inpatient survey.
The 2025 survey, published by the Care Quality Commission, looked at the experiences of people who stayed at least one night in hospital during November 2025. At The Christie, responses were received from 442 patients.
Our patients gave a score of 9.2 out of 10 when asked about their overall experience while they were in hospital. This was rated “much better than expected” compared with most other trusts in the survey, marking another year of consistently positive patient feedback.
The survey asks questions about different parts of inpatient care, including hospital admission and discharge, the hospital and ward environment, care and treatment, communication with staff, involvement in decisions, and being treated with respect and dignity.
There were particularly high scores for experiences with doctors and nurses, and for feeling treated with kindness, compassion, respect and dignity. Each of these areas scored above 9 out of 10.
Vicky Sharples, Chief Nurse and Executive Director of Quality at The Christie, said: “These results matter because they come directly from patients and show a consistent picture over several years. Maintaining that high standard of care for our inpatients, year after year, takes commitment from colleagues across the Trust, and I want to thank everyone who helps make that possible.
“We will keep listening to patient feedback and using it to improve the care we provide.”
