We work with patients, carers and families in a number of ways in developing services, improving our practice and improving patients’ experiences. We welcome and listen to the views of patients, carers, families  and visitors so we can better understand what we’re doing right and what we need to improve, including:

• Surveys with patients who’re currently in our care
• Short questionnaires that patients complete just before they leave our services
• Other online surveys
• Feedback from partners, including other NHS organisations
• Surveys carried out in and by the communities we serve
• Patient and carer forums
• Feedback through other services such as Healthwatch.

We also act as a resource for staff when engaging with service users and members of the general public.

Your feedback is important to us, so we’ve provide different ways for you to give it to us, from surveys and touchscreen feedback points in clinic settings, to online, here and on a range of independent review websites.  

You can contact us directly to tell us about your experience using the contact details on the right.   

Or you can submit feedback using any of the options below:

Care Opinion

Care Opinion is a non-profit organisation where patients can share their experiences of health and social care services. You can provide feedback on the Care Opinion website.

We also receive feedback through the national annual Community Mental Health Survey conducted by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
