  Current data:
     •   20,065 blood tests were carried out across BHR in September 2021.

     •   89% of appointments were carried out within 1 week from the date of booking
         date .
•   10% of appointments were carried out within 2 weeks from the date of
       booking.

   •   1% of appointments were carried out more than 2 weeks after booking
       (patient choice).

Engagement
   •   We have developed a patient survey which can be completed online via a text
       and email link once the appointment has finished.
   •   This link can also be shared via email for those who do not have a mobile
       phone.
   •   We continue to share updates and the link to our dedicated email address in
       our local and NEL wide stakeholder updates to invite local feedback.
   •   We are working closely with Healthwatch to reach out to those who do not
       have web/mobile phone access for their feedback to ensure that feedback is
       representative.
   •   A frequently updated list of all sites and provision is available on the CCG
       website, as well as on the NELFT website and is linked to from the BHRUT
       website.
   •   The above mentioned list of sites is also shared regularly with practice
       colleagues for patients.
   •   We are currently looking at how we can create dedicated phlebotomy
       sessions to accommodate people with learning disabilities.
   •   We are also looking at home visiting for those with severe learning disabilities.

Patient survey results to date
We are now able to report on our patient survey data. 7993 patients responded to
the survey and we are pleased to report that 93% fed back a good or very good
experience. A sample of the questions and responses are broken down below:

   •   How easy did you find it, to get an appointment?
       3,447 said “very easy”, or “easy”
       71 said “difficult”

   •   Overall, how was your experience of our service?
       3327 said “good” or “very good”
       191 said “very poor”, “poor” or “ok”

   •   Were you happy with the distance you travelled to your appointment?
       3343 said “yes “
       107 said “no”, 66 stated “not applicable”

       We will continue to share this survey via text message and email with all
       those who attend an appointment.
We will continue to learn from these responses in order to shape the service
      into one that meets the needs of the local community.
