The Friends and Family Test (FFT)
A new government initiative comes into force on 1st December 2014 known as "Friends and Family Test".
The Friends and Family Test (FFT) is an important tool that gives the opportunity for all patients who use the practice to give anonymous feedback on the care and treatment that they receive and to improve services. FFT is a two question survey and it is rolled out to all patients registered at the practice. The test results will be published locally. You can take the survey at the practice in paper form, on a tablet computer situated at reception or simply by clicking this link Friends and Family Test (FFT).
You can get further information about FFT on the NHS website.
Help us to improve the services provided to you - tell us what you think; take the FFT.
