Why feedback is important
We are passionate about listening to the feedback we receive from our patients and carers. It is vital to improving and guiding our services and helps maintain caring, exceptional and safe care.
The importance of feedback is not what is collected but what is done with it.
We respond to your feedback by listening to you, and then communicating with management, as well as clinical and non-clinical staff. We make changes, praise staff and investigate where we need to. This page is where we tell you what changes we have made in response to your feedback.

"There is always a big queue at the payment machines and my disabled mum and I really struggled waiting in the cold corridor" |
We introduced a new parking validation process. Blue badge holders can now approach a Move Maker in the main Brunel Building atrium and have their parking validated on an iPad.
We also shut the main doors of the parking machine corridor to limit the amount of cold air flowing through. A short nearby diversion allows access to the car park instead. |
| "The waiting area for Gynaecology Emergency Clinic is uncomfortable and unwelcoming" | We introduced better seating and installed a whiteboard for staff to write a daily welcome message.
We communicated this feedback to staff and it was agreed a more visible presence of staff engaging with patients in the waiting room was important. |
| "I was moved wards late at night. It was unpleasant" | We implemented new guidelines that patients are only moved during night time when absolutely necessary.
We also advised staff to explain this to a patient if they are moved late at night to encourage understanding that it is necessary. |
