April 2025 – National Quarterly Pulse Survey


We each have a voice that counts


Welcome to People Pulse, your opportunity to regularly share your views about your working experience. Your answers will be used to shape a range of support, both locally and nationally, for all our NHS people.

We welcome your views and encourage your participation in the survey. Though, please note that your participation is voluntary and you can stop the survey at any time. The survey should take no longer than 5-10 minutes to complete.

The survey is confidential:
  • Ipsos Karian and Box, who are collecting the responses of this survey, are an independent research agency that follows international best-practice to ensure your response remains confidential. They take the security of data extremely seriously, taking all reasonable steps to ensure processes are secure. Information on how Ipsos Karian and Box will process your data can be found in their privacy notice.
  • At the start of the survey, you may be asked about the Directorate and/or Team you work in, and there are a group of demographic questions at the end of the survey. These will allow for the results to be explored for different populations, and this information can help tailor support in the right way. Some of the demographic questions ask directly about you, and you can select the 'prefer not to answer' option if you do not wish to answer.
  • A key part to Ipsos Karian and Box keeping your survey response confidential is through combining your response with responses from others. Only the combined results with 10+ responses for questions will be included in reports provided to NHS England and your respective local NHS trust or organisation. This threshold increases to 20+ responses for open text questions. It is not possible to select multiple demographics to identify individuals.
  • In order to adhere to the NHS England Safeguarding Policy principles, please note that if Ipsos Karian & Box identifies a highly sensitive comment of safeguarding nature, it may be shared with the appropriate colleagues responsible for safeguarding.
