Every year, NHS Foundation Trusts are required to produce a ‘Quality Account’ - a detailed report on the quality of its healthcare services, which also sets out future priorities.

The Quality Account enables us to review our priorities and focus on the areas where we are doing well, as well as those where further improvements could be made. It also enables us to outline the improvements we plan to make in the year ahead.

At the heart of the Quality Account are the Quality Priorities. These change each year and are developed through consultation. There are at least three priorities, one in each of these domains of Quality: Patient Experience, Patient Safety and Clinical Effectiveness.

We’d like to find out what you think about the proposed priorities for 2019.

We’d also like to know whether you think the indicators – the measures of whether we are on track for improvement – for each priority are suitable and measurable.

It is really important that the Quality Priorities are meaningful for the people delivering and using our services. Completing this short survey will help to ensure that happens.

Thank you for your time and feedback.
