NHS Patient Trust Survey by Ethnicity, England 2023

Steven David Pickering's dataset contains descriptive statistics from a cross-sectional survey of 1,111 adults in England conducted in April–May 2023. It examines ethnic differences in trust and satisfaction with the NHS across five domains: communication, ethical treatment, perceived competence, trust in providers, and perceived discrimination.

Use Cases

• Analyze disparities in perceived ethical treatment of patients based on ethnicity.
• Model trust in front-line healthcare providers versus NHS leadership based on survey responses.
• Investigate the relationship between perceived discrimination and overall patient satisfaction.
• Compare patient assessments of relational aspects of care versus technical competence across ethnic groups.

Strengths

• Survey includes 1,111 adult respondents, providing a substantive sample.
• Data covers five specific domains of healthcare experience: communication, ethical treatment, perceived competence, trust, and discrimination.
• Analysis compares responses before and after adjustment for demographic and attitudinal factors.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The 5.5 KB file size indicates a very limited scope, likely containing summary statistics rather than raw survey data.
