Introduction: Annually a national patient cancer survey (NCPES) is performed to assess perceived patient care. It was noted that in the previous cancer experience surveys patients with NET had not been invited to participate. The NET Patient Foundation (NETPF) commissioned Quality Health to undertake this survey in patients with a known diagnosis of neuroendocrine cancer. The patients were identified via NET centres of excellence around England.
