NORTH Cumbria’s NHS is asking for patient feedback about health services during the pandemic.

The local NHS is seeking feedback on patients’ experiences during the outbreak.

A survey covering three areas – general practice, hospital and community services and mental health services – will gather responses.

Many services changed to offer telephone and online consultations and the NHS is keen to ensure the views of patients are used to shape improvements in services.

The survey also looks for people’s thoughts on how they would like to receive the flu vaccination this year.

It is now live and will be open for patients to take part until August 10. It can be accessed via this link: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/P9RBHV2

Dr Amanda Boardman said: “We wanted to give patients the opportunity to tell us about their recent experiences of health services, to help us understand how they feel about the changes that have been made, and tell us any concerns they have about accessing services as we move forward with Covid-19 and a return to some sort of normal life.

“We understand that access to health services has changed rapidly.”
