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.
