FRIENDS AND FAMILY TEST

From the 1st of December all NHS Services are required to undertake a Friends and Family Test of the patients they see and services they provide. As a practice we have signed up to a feedback service called iWantGreatCare.org. You can leave a review by clicking on the iWantGreatCare button.

Patients are able to leave reviews specific to the branch they were seen in or for specific GPs employed by the practice.

The Friends and Family Test is just one of a number of tools used in the NHS to collect feedback from patients. One of the key benefits of this test is that patients can give their feedback in near real time and the results are available to staff more quickly than traditional feedback methods.

We are always pleased to receive feedback from patients in order to monitor and improve our services to you.

Reasons why we would like to receive your feedback via iWantGreatCare:

  • Because feedback from patients improves healthcare across the UK
  • iWantGreatCare makes it simple and safe for you to provide ratings and reviews of your GP
  • Sharing your experience on iWantGreatCare ensures that your opinion counts, is heard by those that care for you, and can help the next patient find great care

Independent and simple to use

  • iWantGreatCare is totally independent, transparent and open and will not edit or filter patient opinion
  • Adding a review is quick - see your comment published on the web immediately
  • You will not be identified by your doctor, dentist or anyone else unless you choose to include in your review or feedback details which allow you to be identified
  • Your comments will make a difference
  • They will be read by other patients looking for advice on care, as well as doctors, dentists and hospitals across the country who read and respond to reviews submitted on the site
  • Whether you wish to say a public thank you for truly great care, or highlight things that could have been done better, iWantGreatCare is the place to do it if you want to make a difference and help the next patient
