Friends and Family Test

We are part of a nationwide initiative known as the 'Friends and Family Test' which gives us - and other NHS organisations across the country - an even greater insight into the experience our patients have of our services, and what they think of us.

We offer all our patients the opportunity to answer one simple question: "Thinking about the service we provide, overall how was your experience of our service?"

You are asked to respond from a number of options from "Very good" to "Very poor". You will also have the opportunity to tell us the main reason for the answer you give, as well as tell us what we could do to improve. You can find out more about the Friends and Family Test (FFT) by visiting www.nhs.uk/friendsandfamily (opens in a new window).

Your information and what you should know

It is important that we are able to ask you for your feedback, so that we can see how well we are performing, how patients rate our services, and what we may need to do to improve. 

We take our responsibility to manage your information appropriately very seriously - you can read more about the information collected about you and the ways in which this may be used in Your information and what you should know (privacy notice).
