Patient Feedback

Patient Surveys

Patient engagement in a GP federation that holds direct clinical services refers to actively involving patients in shaping and improving their care experience. It is a commitment to understanding patient needs, preferences, and perspectives to enhance service quality, accessibility, and satisfaction.

This is achieved through tools like feedback cards and surveys, which allow patients to share their opinions, concerns, and suggestions. The federation uses this feedback to identify areas for improvement, inform decision-making, and ensure that services remain patient-centered. Effective patient engagement builds trust, promotes collaboration, and empowers patients to take an active role in their healthcare journey, fostering a partnership that drives better outcomes and satisfaction.
