Friends and Family survey
Manx Care introduced the Friends and Family Test (FFT) on August 1, 2022.
The FFT is a survey that asks respondents to rate their overall satisfaction regarding their care and treatment received.
The FFT enables respondents to choose from one of the five responses.
This is then followed by questions inviting the respondent to elaborate on the reason for the score they have given: 1. Very Good. 2. Good. 3. Neither good nor poor. 4. Poor. 5. Very Poor.
Improving services in all areas
Manx Care’s Experience and Engagement Lead, Karen Maddox, said: “The FFT survey is proof that Manx Care is increasingly improving services in all areas.
“We had an increase of 791 surveys completed in this quarter compared to the last, and the overall average has risen by 3%.
