Community Mental Health Survey 2024

Tell us your views on mental health care: Community mental health survey 2024

CPFT will soon be carrying out a survey to understand what you think about your care.

Last year we heard the views of nearly 15,000 people. The results helped us to improve the quality of care and people’s mental health care experiences.

Participation is voluntary and all answers are confidential.

If you are invited to take part, your name, phone number, and postal address will only be used by researchers to carry out the survey. Your information and survey answers will not be shared with anyone delivering your care, and all published data is anonymised.

If you do not want to take part, or have any questions about the survey please contact:

Provide feedback/ share your views

Please share your views with us - what’s important to you, is important to us. All of the surveys are completely anonymous and will only take a couple of minutes to complete.

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust wants to ensure you have the best possible experience when you are accessing our services. Your feedback is extremely important to us - it tells us what we are doing well, what we need to improve and what we need to change.

Depending on which Trust team is supporting you, at some point in your care we will ask for your feedback using both the Patient Friends and Family Test, (see the Further Information section below) and our Trust Patient Experience Survey.

Friends and Family Test

The Patient Friends and Family Test is a question used across the NHS, that asks: 'Overall, how was your experience?' This question is included in the Trust surveys and the live results shared on the  the Trust wide feedback page, under Friends and Family.   

The survey is totally anonymous, and your feedback will help us make sure that Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust is providing the best possible care

Are you a carer?
You may actively be involved in caring for a loved one, or you may have been looking after a family member, partner or friend for years, without identifying as a carer.

Comments and concerns
Sometimes things don’t always go as planned. When this happens, please do let us know so that we can learn and make improvements.

If you, your carer or a family member would like to discuss any concerns you have about your care, you should speak to the health professional who you see, or the person in charge of your care so the matter can be resolved quickly and informally.

If you would like to make a formal complaint please visit the complaints page on how to do this. 

 

Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS)
As a service user, carer or family member, you may prefer to discuss your concerns with someone who is not involved in your care.

Please contact the Trust’s Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) on 01223 219 444 (Freephone 0800 376 0775) or you can visit the PALS webpage to find out how to raise an informal complaint or concern. The PALS service is available during office hours, Monday – Fridays (excluding bank holidays).
