Feedback

We welcome feedback from patients and their families. It is a chance for you to tell us straight away what we are doing right and what we could do better to improve our care in the future. We have feedback cards where you can write comments if you want to tell us how you think we can improve our care, or tell us about any positive experiences.

Feedback is extremely valuable and important to us, and we would be very grateful if you could complete a feedback card.

If you are unhappy with the care your child receives, please ask to speak to a ward sister or matron, who will be happy to try and resolve any issues whilst you are on the ward.

Children can fill in their own feedback sheet. We also have a tops and pants scheme.

Children can colour a top and a pair of pants in and then write their good points on the top and bad points on the pants. These are then hung on the washing line in the activity room. Please ask a member of the play staff if your child wishes to do this.

In addition we use a Friends and Family Test Questionnaire. It will only take a few moments of your time. This is also anonymous so we will not know who has completed the questionnaire. You can find out more about the Friends and Family Test on nhs.uk/friendsandfamily.

If you have not been asked to fill out a friends and family test or feedback form during your stay, and would like to, please ask a member of staff who will be able to get you these forms.

If you are not happy with the care and support you have received on a ward or within a department, we would urge you to contact the Trust’s Patient Experience Department (formerly PALS and Complaints).
