Friends and family test
You can rate our hospitals and services just like you can rate a hotel stay – by giving us a star rating and making specific comments to tell us what we are doing well and where improvements can be made.
This can be done by completing the Friends and Family Test postcard after using our services and you may also be also be contacted by SMS text message, (with the option to opt out).

Raising a concern
We aim to provide the best care to our patients, but we know we don’t always get it right. If you have a concern, let us know as soon as you can.
We'll listen and take your feedback seriously. By letting us know about your experiences, we can identify problems and make improvements.
Often the quickest and easiest way to resolve a problem is to speak to the staff who are caring for you or your relative or friend.
It’s usually best to try and address problems as they happen and before they become a formal complaint. For example, if you have waited a long time at an outpatient appointment, tell the nurse in charge. They should be able to give you an explanation, if it's a common problem, and feedback to the people responsible for organising the service to see if improvements can be made.
If you don't feel comfortable speaking to our staff caring for you, or you're not happy with the action taken, contact our patient advice and liaison service (PALS), to see our formal complaint process.
