Patient Opinion - patient powered web

Patient Opinion wants to hear your story and your ideas to help other patients, and to improve the NHS.

Here are some of the things that you can do on Patient Opinion:

Patients and carers can find out what other people think of local hospitals, hospices and mental health services.
And lots of people share the story of what happened to them or their family when they were ill.
Most important of all patients and carers can tell it like it is - patients and carers know what the service was like and come up with lots of great ideas about how it could be better.
So you can tell people what happened to you, as well as reading what others think.

People tell us that the most important thing for them is that their story is used to make services better for other people. So, we will always try to send your postings to just the right manager, so that they see what you think. We know that they listen because they post replies saying how they have improved a particular service.

To do this, Patient Opinion must earn the trust of both patients and the NHS, so:

Patient Opinion has been set up as a not-for-profit social enterprise
It is open and transparent about how it works and what it does
It is run as a sustainable and financially independent business
Any surplus will be used to support further work with patients throughout the NHS
Patient Opinion was founded by Paul Hodgkin, a GP who wanted to find a way to make the wisdom of patients available to the NHS.
