The Participant in Research Experience Survey
The Participant in Research Experience Survey
Introduction
Introduction
The Participant in Research Experience Survey (PRES) has been developed by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Research Delivery Network (RDNCC) and measures the experiences of participants in health and social care research. PRES achieves this by asking individuals to give feedback on the research they have taken part in.
The survey outcomes describe:
The participants’ views on direct interactions with the research delivery teams and the environments the research takes place in
A range of factors relating to the design of the research itself.
The survey is publicly available on this site so that any study team may use it. Delivery Organisations of the RDN’s twelve Regional Research Delivery Networks (RRDNs) are supported to deliver PRES, by their respective RRDNs. An overview of PRES and a link to PRES reports and case studies are available on the NIHR website.

This website is managed by the RDN Coordinating Centre (RDNCC) to provide RRDNs and Delivery Organisations with the information they need to successfully deliver PRES. If you are not part of RRDns and wish to use PRES, please contact the Public Partnerships team at rdncc.ppt@leeds.ac.uk as we may be able to offer support through our national PRES network.
Quote from 2023-2024 PRES Respondent
“The research nurses and my consultant were absolutely fantastic. They treated me with such respect and it didn’t matter how many times I contacted them to ask a question, or if I was at all worried about anything, they put me totally at ease. It was an honour to take part in the trial, I couldn’t have got through my medical condition without them. 100% praise for them.”

“Research nurses and doctors have been amazing and so supportive. Always understanding when my little boy has been unwell or difficult when taking the medication. They helped to settle him. They have made it such a positive experience that he is always excited to come to the hospital. The care and service is outstanding and I always feel he is in safe hands. I can always reach with any concerns I have.”
