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.

The PREM 2024 survey is now closed. We will share the results of the survey next year.

Where can I find out more about the PREM and the results for previous years?

How can the PREM survey benefit me?

The survey can benefit you by helping you 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.

Will my feedback be traced back to me?

No. The survey is anonymous.

You will not be asked for your name or any details that are specific enough to identify you.

The survey does not access your device’s IP address (a unique code assigned to each digital device, such as a smartphone and computer, that helps identify it).

You will only be asked to give your unit (so we know which unit you are giving feedback for).

If you want to, you can voluntarily provide information like your age and gender as this helps us to check how many people from different backgrounds have been reached.

Am I eligible to take part?

If you are over the age of 16 and living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) you can take part. This includes those attending a UK hospital renal unit or satellite unit but not yet on renal replacement therapy and anyone who has received a kidney transplant. The survey is available in English, Welsh, Urdu and Gujarati.
