The NHSE South West Outpatient Transformation Programme, Patient Reference Group PRG. consists of 31 patient volunteers with lived experience of outpatient services in the last two years. The group has representatives from each of the 7 ICS’s across the South West. The key purpose of the PRG is to support the NHSE Outpatient Transformation Programme to deliver user centric transformation initiatives that are co-designed in partnership, with a focus on improving patient experience and tackling inequalities in access to outpatient services in the South West.
1-year interim report
Towards the end of 2022 the PRG produced the 1-year interim report, a report by the Patient Reference Group Chair & Vice Chair on the group’s findings of patient experience in outpatient services in the South West and service user involvement over their first year. A key finding is that they could not find any published patient experience surveys on any outpatient services across the South West. This is surprising given that Patient Experience is increasingly recognised as one of the three pillars of quality in healthcare alongside clinical effectiveness and patient safety. To get a further understanding as to why there is an absence of published patient experience data, we have decided to reach out to each NHS trust and make an FoI request for the following
Would you please support our evidence-gathering process with answers to the following questions?
1 Is there a specific system to measure outpatient experience in your Trust?
2. Does your Trust use the NHS Patient Experience Framework themes to measure and record patient experience?
3. Is there an easily accessible place for the public to review on your website your patient experience reports? not just within published board papers.
4. How are these outpatient experience reports used for continuous improvement within your Trust?
If you would like to learn more about how we are involving patients and those with lived experience, please contact the South West Outpatient Transformation Programme england.swoutpatientstransf@nhs.net
Thank you for helping us to gather evidence on how NHS trusts collect and use patient experience to improve services.
