Dear Patient,
We would be grateful if you would complete this short survey, which has been devised by our Patient Reference Group.
Our goal is to provide you with a positive patient experience, the best medical service available and the highest standard of care. Your comments are therefore invaluable and will help us to ensure that we are truly responsive to your needs.
Please answer all of the questions that apply to you. All responses to this survey are anonymous and our staff will not be able to identify your individual responses. (Submissions via our website are subject to our privacy policy)
We would be most grateful if you could complete the survey by return. The results of the survey will be published on our website and will also be available for viewing at the Practice before the end of March

Following your referral, how satisfied were you with your actual choice of Hospital/Consultant?
Q2. Scans - These are currently performed at either Oxley Clinic, Probert Road, Wolverhampton or New Cross Hospital, Wolverhampton. Do you feel you would benefit if the facility was made more available more locally in the community, closer to the surgery, as opposed to travelling across the city?
