The Overall Patient Experience Scores were a statistical series measuring overall patient views of care and services provided by the NHS. The statistics were composite scores constructed using results taken from the NHS Patient Survey Programme (specifically the Inpatient, Outpatient, Community Mental Health and Accident & Emergency surveys).
