The Participant in Research Experience Survey (PRES) consists of a number of questions aimed at assessing a participant's experience of taking part in health research in the region, using a scale which ranges from strongly agree to strongly disagree.
Welcome to the PRES!
Welcome to the PRES!
NIHR Delivery Organisations are asked to give out the PRES to all participants who take part in NIHR portfolio studies. PRES has now moved to a national website containing all the information you need to deliver the survey to your participants.
The RRDN East of England PRES team consists of the following people:
Anne Kirby, Study Participation Inclusion Manager, e: anne.kirby@nihr.ac.uk
Ann Rampling, PPIE Administrator, e: ann.rampling@nihr.ac.uk
Find out why the PRES is so important, and how it can help your participants shape research in the future in the short film (2 mins long).
East of England RRDN PRES Dashboard
East of England RRDN PRES Dashboard
We have an East of England PRES dashboard to support you to access near to live results of the PRES for your organisation. This was relaunched on 1 October 2024 to include the organisations who are transitioning over to the East of England RRDN.
You can filter the results by Trust or by site (using a site code), so please ensure you include the correct site code on your paper surveys, before giving them to participants. You can also filter the results by quarter, by financial year, by specialty, by study and by question. To view the free text comments for questions 8 & 9 you must filter by study as well as by site and/or year.
You can access the dashboard using the links below.

Who should I give the PRES to and how often?
PRES should be embedded into the participant’s research journey on all NIHR portfolio studies, where appropriate. For help with this contact: anne.kirby@nihr.ac.uk.
How often can I give it out?
PRES can be given out to each participant once, for each study they are taking part in.
If the participant is in multiple studies, they can complete a PRES for each study they are taking part in.
Recruitment Enhancement Tools for Researchers and Research Teams
Recruitment Enhancement Tools for Researchers and Research Teams
The RDN has created two Recruitment Enhancement Tools based on the feedback from research participants. The aims of the documents are to give the researchers and research delivery teams a better understanding of the participant perspective.
