However, accessing GP services remains difficult for many, and patients overall do not regard remote consultations as an adequate replacement for

Health NHS patient feedback is not being used to improve services, report warns
Patient Safety Learning posted a news article in News
The NHS is spending millions of pounds encouraging patients to give feedback but the information gained is not being used effectively to improve services, experts have warned. Widespread collection of patient comments is often “disjointed and standalone” from efforts to improve the quality of care, according to a study by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). Nine separate studies of how hospitals collect and use feedback were analysed. They showed that while thousands of patients give hospitals their comments, their reports are often reduced to simple numbers – and in
