CFEP Patient Survey

Patient feedback for doctors including locum and sessional doctors, nurses and midwives, occupational health, pharmacists, dentists and other healthcare professionals. It is suitable for both individuals and organisations such as GP practices, Primary Care Networks, and NHS Trusts.

The CFEP Patient Survey is the industry benchmark interpersonal skills questionnaire for healthcare professionals. It was used as the source validation for the GMC questionnaire and is suitable for revalidation and for professional development purposes.

• Provides you with thorough and rigorous analysis and an in-depth feedback report which includes extensive benchmarking data

We recommend the CFEP360 Patient and Colleague Survey as the complete multisource feedback tool for healthcare professionals. This survey combines the CFEP Patient Survey with a colleague feedback evaluation tool and a self-assessment questionnaire.

For practices and Primary Care Networks, we recommend the CFEP Improving Practice Survey which is an end-to-end patient experience survey providing feedback on all aspects of your service at an organisational level. This can also be combined with individual clinicians’ multisource feedback and a self-assessment tool depending on your needs.
