Friends and Family Test (FFT)
The Friends and Family Test (FFT) is an important way in which we receive feedback from our patients and carers. We ask people if they would recommend the services they have used and offers a range of responses. When combined with additional follow-up questions (see the word cloud above), the FFT highlights both good and poor patient experience. The FFT provides a broad measure of patient experience that can be used alongside other feedback and data to help us make improvements where needed.
Overall satisfaction
Patients were also asked how they rated their service, from excellent to very poor.
