From 1st December 2025, central processing for paper PRES officially ends. This means that the ‘stick and fold’ paper surveys should no longer be distributed, and any that are sent back to us will not be processed.
Paper surveys will still be available for accessibility and inclusion reasons, but we ask that digital options are offered first wherever possible. If a paper survey needs to be provided at any point, the applicable PDF will need to be printed from the options below below:
These will then need to be uploaded to the new PRES platform, myresearchexperience.com. This process is outlined in the working guidance and will be covered in your Organisations training and set-up. Until this training has taken place, please continue to administer the digital survey as usual, and wait until you are set up on the new platform before handing out any paper surveys.
Successful delivery of PRES relies on collecting accurate information about the site and study, so that they can be accurately attributed within the PRES dashboard. If these fields are left blank, the responses cannot be attributed and therefore neither display on the dashboard, nor can be counted as part of our responses. You can access your site ID to include. If you're unsure about which site or study ID to enter, please contact us at bethany.winter@nihr.ac.uk.
Please take a look at the PRES microsite if you have any questions, or reach out to the Research Engagement and Inclusion Team at em.rrdn@nihr.ac.uk.
