PEOPLE who were inpatients at Salisbury District Hospital in July have been asked to record their experiences as part of a national initiative to use the views of local people to improve health services.

Staff are reminding the 850 people who received an inpatient survey questionnaire to complete and return it before December 31.

Director of Nursing Tracey Nutter said: “It’s important that our patients can comment on the care they receive in hospital. The inpatient survey is the first opportunity patients will have to comment on the changes that we have made to facilities to improve privacy and dignity issues and we hope that people will take the time to respond.”
