Insight spotlight

Our annual insight spotlight aims to influence positive changes within the sector for the benefit of our professions and the public.

Using our own data, and that shared by our partners, we improve our understanding and response to issues within the health and care sector.

We share our insights to highlight issues that we know affect the quality and safety of care that people receive.

2024 report

This year's edition of Spotlight is divided into three sections:

1. People's expectations of care.
2. People's experiences of care.
3. People's experiences of raising concerns about care.

Each section of the report concludes with a ‘Using insights’ section that details how we and others can make use of the insights included in the report.
