Inpatient survey
To improve the quality of services that the NHS delivers, it is important to understand what people think about their care and treatment.
A good way of doing this is by asking people who have recently used health services to tell us about their experiences.
Each year we take part in the Care Quality Commission's (CQC) national inpatient survey, which is part of a national programme run by the CQC to improve the quality of care and service users’ experiences.
Taking part in the survey is entirely voluntary and all answers are confidential.
For each survey, a number of people are randomly selected from those who were using our inpatient services during a particular timeframe. They are sent a questionnaire asking them about their experiences of our services.
If you wish to opt out of the survey and would prefer your contact details not be used, please let your care coordinator know.

Tell us what you think
We know that patients have a unique position as expert witnesses to care. We also know that their judgements are formed as much by the care they see others getting as the care they get themselves.
We consider they are experts by experience and we want to learn from that experience. Understanding patient satisfaction and experiences are crucial to our ability to react to what patients and carers want and need. Understanding how we do things is just as important as what we do.
As an organisation we are keen to ensure that listening and learning from past experience, together with understanding what is important to people when developing services, runs throughout the way we commission services.
There are lots of ways you can give us your feedback:
