2025/26 participant feedback
Quarter 1 2025/26 PRES results for NIHR Sheffield CRF
The Participant in Research Experience Survey (PRES) is an annual nationally standardised survey used to collect adults and children's views and experiences of participating in NIHR supported research.
Through PRES, the NIHR aims to put participant experience at the heart of research delivery - helping to improve the way research studies are designed and delivered, now and in the future.
In the NIHR Sheffield CRF we review the feedback received on the PRES surveys from people participating in our research studies every three months. Regular reviews mean that we can circulate updates to our teams and act upon any feedback where necessary to make improvements so that our participants can have the best experience possible in the CRF.
The infographic to the right shows some highlights for quarter 1 (April - June) of 2025/26 for NIHR Sheffield CRF and Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (STH).
