Why bother with the survey • We want patients to be involved in decisions about the range of services we provide • We want patients to tell us about the quality of services we provide
So what are we going to do? • Agree priority areas with PRG • Perform survey in practice asking views on these areas • Discuss the results with PRG • Action plan • Publicise actions • Re-do survey next year
How can we decide priority areas? • Look at complaints • Look at previous survey area’s • Discuss with PRG
Historic Complaints What could we ask in survey? Are there grounds for these complaints? • Difficulty getting appt • Difficulty getting through by telephone • Poor attitude of GP • Poor attitude of staff • Travel vaccine service satisfaction
Complaints where survey not appropriate for these issues • Cervical screening complaint about national programme • Error in letter from hospital • GP refusing to do letter for patient when information would have been false • Nurse failing to obtain blood sample
What have previous surveys said? • Scored highly for GPs attitudes/care/concern • Hard to get through on telephone • Poor access for GP telephone advice • Waiting times for GP (urgent easier than routine)
Previous changes to address survey results? • Altered appointment system; ongoing* • Always a balance between urgent and routine slots • New telephone system • Internet booking appointments and prescriptions ordering*
What are the important issues to YOU on which we should consult patients?
