Friends and Family
The Friends and Family Test (FFT) supports the fundamental principle that people who use NHS services should be able to provide feedback on their experience by asking the question:
We would like you to think about your recent experiences of our service. How likely are you to recommend our GP practice to friends and family if they needed similar care of treatment?
The FFT question has been asked in all NHS inpatient and A&E departments across England since April 2013. The feedback gathered through the FFT is being used in NHS organisations across the country to stimulate local improvement and empower staff to carry out the sorts of changes that make a real difference to patients and their care.
