NHS England has launched its annual stakeholder survey of all Academic Health Science Networks, including EMAHSN.

The first survey was conducted in 2015, and many of you provided really valuable feedback which we have used to shape our work over the past year – directing our resources to support your organisation and make sure we continue to align to your priorities.

The deadline is Friday 16 September and it will take around 10-15 minutes to complete. To complete the survey about the EMAHSN click here.

You can also complete a survey about AHSNs overall by clicking here.
Your feedback will be very important to help shape our future work and all responses are confidential in accordance with the Market Research Society Code of Conduct and UK data protection legislation.

Feedback from East Midlands’ respondents last year included:

• 85% said EMAHSN has clear and visible leadership
• 77% said EMAHSN is accessible
• 74% said we are responsive
• 74% said we provide quality advice
• 72% said we are knowledgeable about the local health landscape
• 79% would recommend working alongside us

There were also some key points we have taken on board. You asked us to:

• Strengthen our links with commissioning organisations
• Continue to ensure our work reflects local health priorities
