We are delighted to share that Highfield Healthcare Mental Health Services is taking part in the National Mental Health Experience Survey.

Service users who have been discharged from our Mental Health Acute Units between 1st April and 30th June 2026 will be eligible to complete a survey asking about their recent experience of care in our inpatient environment.

All survey responses will be anonymised and combined to produce reports on people’s experiences of inpatient mental health care in Ireland, which will be made publicly available.

The findings will help identify what is working well and what can be improved in inpatient mental health care across Ireland.

The National Care Experience Programme (NCEP) is running the survey.

The NCEP is a partnership between the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA), the Health Service Executive (HSE), the Mental Health Commission (MHC) and the Department of Health.
