Friends and Family Tests (FFT)
My friends at the NHS have revised the FFT guidance, which takes effect from 1 April 2020.
- AT A GLANCE
- What has changed
- The new question
There is a new standard question for all settings: “Overall, how was your experience of our service?”
The new question has a new response scale: [ ] Very good [ ] Good [ ] Neither good nor poor [ ] Poor [ ] Very poor [ ] Don’t know and new preceding text to make it clear which setting the feedback refers to, following the words: “Thinking about”, providers can choose the most appropriate of these options or use their own similar wording – this will help ensure the feedback collected is related to the right service: your GP practice… your stay in the hospital… your dental practice… your recent visit to A&E… this maternity service… our antenatal service… our labour ward… our birthing unit… our homebirth service… our postnatal ward… our postnatal community service… your recent appointment… your recent visit… our recent visit… the service we provide…

I would like Healthcare Communications to manage my FFT
Healthcare Communications work with over 65 Trusts to capture and report on patient experiences. By providing several communication options, they ensure every patient group has the opportunity to feedback on care received by channel preference.
Monkey Wellbeing is the perfect character to encourage feedback from children and young people.
Healthcare Communications can help with printing surveys featuring Monkey and also inputting data and reporting on results.
