Do you know someone who had a Do Not Attempt to Resuscitate (DNACPR) order put in place during the pandemic
18/12/2020
Healthwatch are supporting the Care Quality Commission (CQC) with a survey for people who have had or known someone who had a Do Not Attempt to Resuscitate (DNACPR) order put in place or reviewed during the COVID-19 pandemic, between March 2020 and now.
We are sharing a survey on their behalf to make sure we get people’s experiences heard on what is for so many, a very sensitive and critical subject.
We have a link to a short survey carried out on behalf of CQC to understand people’s experiences, or those of their family, friends and carers. This will feed into the current CQC review of care in January. The survey is completely anonymous and asks for no personal details other than a person’s local town. The survey is short and is mainly tick box responses, however there is opportunity for people to share their story in more detail if they wish.
Deadline for submissions is 14th January 2020.
The link to the survey can be found here
