Friends and Family Test

The Friends and Family Test (FFT) is a national survey that gives patients, families and carers the opportunity to share feedback on their experience of our services, including whether they would recommend the service to others.

We are committed to continually developing and improving care for patients, families and carers. FFT feedback helps staff understand what is working well and make improvements based on the experiences shared.

The Friends and Family Test is a nationally set question which asks you to think about your experience of care by enquiring: “Thinking about our ward…overall, how was your experience of our service?“

The results below show responses received during the reporting period and are typically four to six weeks old, as validation and reporting to NHS England are required before publishing.
