Tell Your Story, Make a Difference!
Had experience of NHS services recently? Want to offer some feedback, suggestions or thanks? Want to see what others are saying too?
Then Patient Opinion might interest you.
Patient Opinion is a not-for-profit social enterprise, which uses the power of the web to carry your voice into the heart of health services.
Patient Opinion provides a website where anyone can share their recent experience of local health services and see what others are saying. Stories can be from patients, carers, service user or staff and you can submit them directly via www.patientopinion.org.uk or by post or telephone. You tell the story in your own words, or pictures, sharing as much, or as little, as you want. It’s totally confidential and your privacy is one of Patient Opinion’s primary concerns.
Patient Opinion works to make sure the people providing health services see every story that is published on the site and encourages them to respond online. If this response shows that a change has been made to services, the Patient Opinion website highlights this, for everyone to see. Patient Opinion is already working with a number of Health Boards across Scotland which are interested in seeing what people have to say.
Patient Opinion aims to make it quick, easy and safe for patients and carers to give feedback about their health care, and for health service providers to respond to and make use of feedback for service improvement.
