The Friends and Family Test is a simple question which asks patients ‘Overall, how was your experience of our service?’ Patients are encouraged to fill in one of our surveys to give us feedback about their experience so we can make changes and improvements to the services we provide. The Friends and Family Test survey is available for all inpatients, day case, A&E, maternity and outpatients to answer.
The Friends and Family Test (FFT) survey is available for all inpatients, day case, emergency department/urgent care centre, maternity and outpatients to answer.
The Friends and Family Test survey is now hosted on our new platform, ENHance. We are in the process of updating our survey links and as soon as they are ready, we will share them on this page.
