Patient Opinion - tell us and other patients about your experience
DID you know
there is an independent, national website where patients can share
their experience of Southport & Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust?
Patient Opinion aims
to turn patient feedback into better services. See
www.patientopinion.org.uk
for more information.
The public can use the site to thank the hospital or specific
members of staff, relate a story about their experience, make
constructive criticisms, rate our services and compare us to other
hospitals. Patient Opinion is an independent, not-for-profit
business where all surplus value will be returned to the NHS. It
covers all NHS Acute Trusts and private sector providers.
Paul Hodgkin, FRCGP,
Chief Executive of Patient Opinion explained:- "Patient
Opinion is for any comment about hospital care.
We review all
postings before they are published and we aim to turn patient
feedback into better services by working with users, patient groups,
commissioners and hospital staff."
Liz Yates, Director of Nursing at Southport & Ormskirk Hospital NHS
Trust commented:- "We always welcome feedback from our
patients and already receive comments via comment cards on the
wards.
However, we realise some patients might like to wait until
they are back at home before commenting about their experience,
which is why we are very happy to be working with the Patient
Opinion website and the Strategic Health Authority to encourage
patients to share their experiences." |
