We collate data and information about the services we deliver. We share this data throughout the year to give assurance that we deliver safe, efficient services across all areas of the organisation. We are constantly striving to improve our services, measuring our performance gives us the opportunity to understand what is working well and where changes need to be made in order to improve performance and the quality of care provided.
*This shows the percentage of people responding to our Friends & Family Test who gave a positive response about our service.
We work hard to maintain high standards and continually improve our services. Please share your experience of our care in our Friends & Family Test (FFT) to help us continue to do this.
Take The TestThe 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. More Information can be found at NHS England.
Good environments matter. PLACE assessments provide motivation for improvement by providing a clear message, directly from patients, about how the environment our services might be enhanced. Introduced in 2013 PLACE assesses the quality of the patient environment.
The assessments will see local people go into hospitals as part of teams to assess how the environment supports patient’s privacy and dignity, food, cleanliness and general building maintenance. It focuses entirely on the care environment and does not cover clinical care provision or how well staff are doing their job. The assessments will take place every year, and results will be reported publicly to help drive improvements in the care environment.
