Patient Experience Surveys

Understanding the experience of our patients is really important to us and whilst you are visiting as an outpatient or day case patient, attending the Emergency Department or stay in hospital as an inpatient, you can leave feedback using the QR codes or website links below. If you don't have a phone you can give your views while you are in hospital by using an app on Trust iPads. Paper surveys are also available - please ask a member of staff if you require help or support to complete a survey.  

Patient Experience Surveys

A range of surveys, including the Friends and Family Test (FFT), are offered to ensure all patients, their family and carers to give you the opportunity to provide feedback. This provides a useful tool to measure satisfaction, drive cultural change and lead continuous improvement to enhance the patient experience.

Patient feedback is captured in a number of ways, including surveys and face to face conversations. Part of our patient experience work includes the NHS Friends and Family Test (FFT). This simple question asks patients whether they would recommend our services to their friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment. Staff are also asked the same question a number of times each year as we know this is an important indicator as to how well we’re doing.

To complete the FFT patients can complete the survey by scanning one the following QR codes or website links that relate to the service that they used. The camera function or QR reader apps on any smartphone will take patients directly to the survey which can be completed on the phone.
