District Nurse Treatment Room Service Survey 2016

NHS StockportCCG wants to know how well its services are working for our population. TheDistrict Nurse Home VisitingService treats a great number of patients every week and we want to make sure that patients have a positive experience. Whilst we believe that patients will have received a safe & effective service we want to understand their personal experience.

Our ability to provide high quality, patient-centred services depends on many things, including what our patients tell us about how it is for them. Not only will patient’s valuable feedback help us to understand how things are working, it will help us to know what, if any, improvements could make our patients experience better in the future.

Any other comments

  1. Never had to contact the service.

  1. Question 2 I was offered a choice (day or time) Reply "Fitted in with both" South Reddish is best clinic/ nearest. I have had to pay to go to him & Brinnington as had no appointments.

  1. Q. 2 I was offered a choice (Day or time) Reply "Difficult to get 1st appt. with any clinic"

  1. The signage regarding check-in at the Bramhall Health Centre is very confusing. I'm a relatively young and intelligent person so how would an elderly/confused person cope? My appointment letter said "at the District Nurse Treatment Room". This isn't listed at either reception point. Perhaps it would be better to say "All non-GP appointment??

  1. After discharged from hospital I had to contact the central Tel No the lady was most unhelpful had to call back to find out what was happening was told that someone would call me back.

  1. Think it's a wonderful service. All staff very friendly!
