We have used the 2021 results to develop quality improvement plans, to ensure patients’ priorities are being addressed.”

We are constantly working to improve the patient experience through listening, responding and improving. This new survey for 2022 will provide us with a clear insight into what we are doing well and where we need to introduce new practices and measures to improve things. I am urging all patients who receive a form to complete it, so we can continue to deliver an excellent standard of care.”
