Patient Experience Report 2020-2021 Quarter 3
What is a Patient Experience Programme?
Our patient experience programme gathers feedback from patients accessing health and social care services in Hammersmith & Fulham. From the feedback, we produce a quarterly report that analyses the data and summarises the key findings.
Patients are asked to give the service an overall star rating between 1 and 5 (1 = Very Bad, 5 = Very Good). For each feedback collected, our trained volunteers apply sentiments (positive, neutral, negative) and key themes. The main themes are Access to Services, Administration, Staff, and Treatment and Care.
Typically, the feedback is collected by visiting local services and interviewing patients face to face; however, due to Covid-19, the programme had to adapt remote methods of engagements including direct telephone interviews, Zoom engagement sessions and collating online reviews from platforms such as NHS.co.uk and Google Reviews.
Key Findings:
GP Services: Positive feedback remains high around Treatment and Care theme (79%) and Staff (74%) in terms of Quality of Treatment, Experience, and Staff Attitude. The Access to Services and Waiting Times received negative feedback (50% and 54% respectively). The Administration received nearly equal amounts of positive (46%) and negative (47%) feedback. The main issues related to booking appointments and getting through on the telephone.

Areas of good practice can be found across the following themes and sub themes: Treatment and care – Experience (85% positive); Quality of Care (86% positive); Staff attitude (89% positive).
