Assess what matters to patients — join the PREP Surveyor panel.

The Role of a PREP Surveyor

  • PREP Surveyors are trained experience assessors who conduct facility surveys on behalf of the program.
  • PREP surveys are unannounced — facility staff do not know surveyors are coming, so the role demands discretion, professionalism and composure alongside sharp observation.
  • A PREP survey is unlike a clinical audit. Surveyors:
    • Interview patients and relatives.
    • Observe the facility’s public and patient-facing spaces.
    • Review feedback and complaints handling.
    • Speak with staff about experience practice — never clinical practice.

Who we look for

  • Professionals in healthcare quality, accreditation, patient experience, hospital administration, nursing or ward operations.
  • Service-excellence and hospitality professionals with an interest in healthcare.
  • Patient and family representatives — lived experience is an asset on a survey team, not an afterthought.
  • Strong observers and listeners with sound judgement, integrity and empathy.

What we provide

  • Training and calibration in the PREP standards, rating methodology and experience-based assessment methods.
  • A documented, transparent rating methodology, so scoring is reliable and consistent across surveyors.
  • Empanelment on the PREP Surveyor register and assignment to surveys. [Confirm: remuneration/honorarium details]
