3. PRACTICE-RELATED FEEDBACK

Five pieces of practice-related feedback are required. The purpose of seeking and reflecting upon practice-related feedback is to encourage you to be more responsive to the needs of your patients and service users and those who care for them.

The feedback can come from a wide variety of sources:

  • Patients, service users, carers, students as part of your day to day practice
  • Friends and family feedback
  • Thank you cards
  • Team performance reports
  • Feedback to the group or practice
  • Feedback from colleagues e.g. nurses other healthcare professionals, reception staff, researchers, teachers
  • Complaints
  • Serious event reviews
  • Feedback received through your annual appraisal.

Thinking point

  • Who are the best people to provide you with feedback?
  • How can you ask them? 
  • When might be the best time to approach them?
  • How much time might you need to allow to realistically collect this feedback?
  • What might you do to ensure you collect a variety of feedback from various sources?
