Introduction/About you

This survey should take up to 30 minutes to complete and is aimed at parents/carers whose baby/babies, have experienced neonatal care in one of our neonatal units across the Thames Valley & Wessex neonatal network. 
 
The survey has been written with neonatal parents who have experienced neonatal care and understand some of the journey you have been on.  Firstly, we’d like to say, congratulations on the birth of your baby/babies! 
 
Gaining feedback from parents and families about their experiences is vital to ensure our neonatal services are meeting parents needs and ensuring changes are in line with what parents say is important to them.  It ensures parent’s voices remain at the heart of the network’s neonatal improvement work, helping us to continue to improve the experiences of families in the future.
 
This survey aims to understand the experience of neonatal parents, with questions across the following areas:
  • Antenatal care 
  • Postnatal care 
  • The neonatal care of your baby/babies
  • The family support you may have received
  • When you were leaving hospital with your baby/babies
There is no obligation to answer any questions, so please answer only the questions that you feel able to and are applicable to your experience.
 
We recognise that some questions may be difficult to answer or may bring up difficult feelings. Please know that you can stop at any time, take a break, and return or stop the survey completely by clicking ‘end’ at any point. Whatever you decide, we will provide some details of where you can get support at the end of the survey, should you need this.   
 
Please note that this survey is not a route to make an official complaint.  Please contact your local hospital PALS service who will be able to support you directly with this. 
 
By taking part in this survey, you are consenting to us using your responses to evaluate services in neonatal units across the Thames Valley & Wessex region. All your responses are anonymous.
We may present the findings our survey (sometime using anonymous quotes) to neonatal units within our network and the wider NHS to help improve services. You will not be able to be identified from any of the data or quotes shared.
