Friends and Family Feedback

The Friends and Family Test is used widely in healthcare to provide comparable feedback on performance and help us consistently improve our service. When combined with follow-up questions, it provides a way for us to identify both good and bad performance and encourage staff to make improvements where services do not live up to expectations.

  • It will mean that staff have access to up-to-date feedback and will be informed and empowered to take immediate action to tackle areas of weak performance and build on success.
  • Patients will be able to use the information to make decisions about their care and to challenge organisations to improve services while championing those who excel.
  • Commissioners will have an up-to-date and comparable measure to use to benchmark providers.

Feedback Privacy

The Friends and Family Test is anonymous and used to help us understand our services better and work towards developing and improving them.

Any feedback you ever give will be treated in confidence and the service you receive from us will never be adversely affected as a result.
