I had an outpatient appointment at Lincoln County Hospital. There was nothing wrong with the visit, on the contrary I was seen on time and was discharged from treatment. the only real moan about the visit to LCH is the usual one with regards to parking, having to pay for the privilege, but that is a side issue.
My concern is not really a complaint about treatment but the text message after my visit asking: "Thinking about your Outpatient experience at United Lincs Hospitals NHS: How likely are you to recommend our service to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?" we then have a 1 to 6 from extremely likely to extremely unlikely.
I do not recommend a hospital service to anybody, it is my (their) GP's job to recommend your service.
Would it not be better if the question asked was, "Were you (the patient) happy with the service/treatment given?" and then ask for observations and recommendations on how the service was and what could be improved if necessary.
