We are delighted to announce that Torbay Care Trust has won the Picker Institute Europe and Fr3dom Health competition for a free six month patient feedback programme.
Launched at this summer's Health Service Journal and NHS Confederation conferences, the competition asked entrants to describe how they would use the programme to improve patients' experiences of care.
Torbay Care Trust will use the programme within their quality improvement plan to capture the views and experiences of patients and families receiving end of life care at home and in Rowcroft Hospice. The programme will also be used to seek local community views regarding service design and future development.
