Patient feedback matters / context
Tidal wave of reports and public interest in patient experience; Francis; Keogh; Berwick
“The patient voice should be heard and heeded at all times … even when that voice is a whisper” Don Berwick
Since 2008 RUH has led the way with real-time patient feedback: PET and Meridian – increasing use of Meridian alongside FFT
On-going Patient Feedback: FFT; Meridian; PALS; complaints; patient stories; See it my way

Patient comments
“Brilliant care from the most amazing staff”
“The smoking at the main entrance must be addressed for patients and nurses especially given that it is right next to the breast care cancer unit”
“Staff absolutely first class especially ‘X’. I would also like to mention ‘X’ in recovery. I was there for 7 ½ hours and he couldn’t have done more for me”“Staff were extremely
professional and treated me with dignity and respect. I felt completely safe and well cared for”
“Care can’t get better. Food adequate and hot. Heat unacceptable for staff – they struggled to work in it”
“Excellent care and attitude – these workers are worth their weight in gold. However the food is abysmal and needs revamping”
“Dr X and team have been brilliant! This time the nurses have been great cleaning bed and on top of drugs. Last time was laid in very dirty bed for days and nurses were not helpful or caring”
“Staff were very caring at all times”

We have been asking patients for their feedback on the RUH as part of the ‘Friends and Family Test’. Here is an example of the feedback, and how we’ve used it to make improvements.
You said We did
“Felt a bit lonely at times” We have art supplies and books on the ward. We have links to befrienders, Pat a Pet and music therapy, please talk with us if you feel lonely
“More shelves in bathroom” We have added extra shelves in the bathroom
