Kidney Patient Reported Experience Measure (PREM)

Every year the Kidney PREM collects the views of kidney patients across the UK to build a national picture of renal care experiences. Find out more about PREM, how the results are reported and where to find results from previous years.

Kidney Patient Reported Experience Measure (PREM)

The 2025 Kidney PREM survey has now closed. Thank you to everyone who took part. The results are due to be released in Spring 2026, and will be shared on this page once they are available.

How does taking part help?

Taking part is your chance to anonymously share your praises and concerns about the main areas of your care with your unit. This helps your kidney team to understand how you and the other kidney patients they care for feel about your experience of care.

By taking part, you help your unit, other health care professionals, and kidney charities to get a national picture of people’s experience. We can use this to identify where changes need to be made, and units can see how they are performing against other units, to make sure they aren’t falling behind.

Am I eligible to take part?

There are surveys for those living with kidney disease (CKD) who are either: in adult kidney clinic (the Kidney PREM survey) or in paediatric clinic and their parents/carers (the Kidney Paediatric PREM). This includes those attending a UK hospital renal unit or satellite unit but not yet on kidney (renal) replacement therapy and anyone who has received a kidney transplant.

What options are there for taking part?

The survey is available in English, Welsh, Urdu and Gujarati.

The survey is primarily online only. However, some units are offering a service to accept paper copies and upload them on behalf of their patients. If you would like a paper copy of the survey, please ask your unit if they are offering this service. Please do not print your own version as any paper forms received cannot be used and will not be counted.

I have a question, who should I ask?
