Friends and Family Test (FFT) gives patients the opportunity to submit feedback to providers of NHS funded care or treatment, using a simple question which asks how likely, on a scale ranging from extremely unlikely to extremely likely, they are to recommend the service to their friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment. Data on all these services is published on a monthly basis.

Summary

The FFT Collection overview gives users a summary of patient FFT results across all care settings, including total organisations submitting, total responses, overall response rates where applicable and the percentage of respondents who would or would not recommend their service to friends or family.

Summary

This document displays visual statistics of monthly results for the FFT and shows the results for the current month for all care settings as well as the total number of responses.
