Enter and View - IW NHS Trust Complaints Accessibility 2015

As part of Healthwatch Isle of Wights complaints workplan, Enter and View visits to St Marys Hospital were carried out during February and March 2015.

Summary

These visits were undertaken to look at the overall accessibility of the IW NHS Trust complaints procedure and focused on the publication of information and staff knowledge of the complaints procedure. 

Key findings

  • Out of 24 hospital areas visited, only 5 were displaying complaints posters
  • Time scales for complaints handling were not present on either the leaflets or posters, leaving people unaware of when to expect a response
  • All staff were found to be polite and were keen to encourage the Enter and View panel members to share their experiences.
