We Listen, We Care - Listening to your feedback to improve your care

Your feedback is really important to us. After a hospital visit you may receive an SMS message from the Trust asking about your experience and if you have comments or suggestions. We would strongly encourage you to complete this short survey to enable us to keep doing the things we are doing well and identify areas where we can improve.

If you would like a paper version of the survey please email pals@swft.nhs.uk.

Your feedback is totally confidential and is collected and processed by Feedback Points, an independent organisation.
