Surveys
The Bermuda Health Council has developed numerous health system surveys for a range of purposes, from assessing health services to measuring quality of care and quality of life. Many of these surveys are intended for the general population, but can be tailored to specific groups, such as caregivers, health professionals and families.
This section provides stakeholders with information about ongoing or upcoming surveys on health system matters. Information is updated regularly and key stakeholders are notified via email. If you do not receive our emails and would like to, please subscribe here.
We are seeking feedback on a proposed set of guiding principles for health professional regulation. These guiding principles are intended to serve as our anchor — keeping the modernization process steady, transparent, and aligned with shared values as we navigate complex decisions. Your input will help ensure the principles are clear, relevant, and balanced. This short survey takes about 5 minutes to complete. All responses are confidential.

Through surveys and in person consultation/focus groups we gathered feedback on dementia services in Bermuda. The results of these consultations have been incorporated into the 2025 Current State & Health Needs Assessment: Dementia which identifies the current and projected dementia care needs for families and persons living with dementia. This Assessment was also used to support the development of an integrated care pathway (for the Ministry of Youth, Social Development & Seniors) which will ultimately help in planning, directing, and delivering effective dementia care, education/training and wrap-around support services, ensuring that the population’s needs are met effectively.
Key Stakeholders: physicians, hospitalists, emergency department staff, Mid-Atlantic Wellness Institute staff, dedicated memory care nursing home staff, day activity staff, geriatricians, persons living with dementia, families and caregivers of persons living with dementia
