Due to COVID19 all paper feedback forms and tablets tocollect feedback have been suspended in line with NHSEngland guidance. This means it's more difficult to capturefeedback. For ward or secure areas we realise this may impact on ourpatients and carers as there will be fewer opportunities forsharing feedback. Please tell us your ideas about how we can continue tolisten to patients, carers and families during COVID19We care about what you say so that we can improve ourservices for patients, carers and families.Remember that all feedback is anonymous.
