Another milestone has been reached. The Western trust has reached 2,000 stories since it began back in 2020

The 2,000th story can be read here… Well looked after and informed of each step | Care Opinion well done to the staff in SWAH who made the author and their family feel ‘well looked after and informed of each step’.

Michelle Scott PCE for the Western trust said ‘I am delighted to announce that we have reach 2,000 stories on care opinion. To date over 600,000 stories have been told on care opinion from local areas in Northern Ireland to further afield in England, Scotland Wales and Australia and I am honoured to be a part of this.

Care opinion gives the people we serve a voice to leave their story easily, anonymously and safely in real time and those authors receive a response to their feedback which has led to real change within our health service. Care opinion has been a driving force for change within our health service. By listening to our service users, we have been able to make really change and that has been the most impactful part of this role for me. This particular story has came very timely as I recently attended the opening of the new sensory room in South West Acute Hospital in Enniskillen which has been invaluable to its service users. Image titleImage titleImage title

Well done to Western Health and Social Care Trust on reaching 2000 stories.

Care Opinion is a great platform for service users to provide feedback on services that they have received in relation to Falls Prevention or how best to manage risk of falls.

If you have attended a service or a Health Event in relation to falls, we would love to hear your experience.  Your feedback can help inform improvements to existing services.
