Survey asking for patient views on blood taking services in Shropshire

A patient experience survey, which has been launched by local health commissioners, is looking to gather the views and experiences of people across the county in order to shape improvements to the blood taking services.

The survey is available at surveymonkey.co.uk/r/8JPTBNQ and is open to anyone who has used the service either during the pandemic or before.

It takes just five to 10 minutes to complete and all information shared will be confidential.

Feedback is welcomed from adults, carers and the parents of children who have accessed any blood taking services or would simply like to express a view.

Diversity of views

Corrine Ralph, programme review manager for Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin Clinical Commissioning Groups, said: “Everyone will have used this service at one point or another, so it is important that we collect as many views as possible to shape improvements for this crucial service.

“We are asking everyone in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin to please take the time to fill in this survey and to share their honest views about their experience of the blood taking services.

“At the CCG, we are seeing this as an opportunity to improve and shape a service based on vital feedback offered from patients.

"It is a chance to involve people directly in plans currently being considered within the CCG and ultimately aid service improvement.”

People can also call 07870 973241 for assistance in completing the survey or request a paper copy and freepost return envelope from the CCGs.
