5 Understanding your results Survey results highlight areas that need improvement to provide a better service for patients.

Compare results over time - have you improved since the 2014 survey? The Inpatient survey is currently repeated on an annual basis. Looking at trends over time helps to focus attention on improvements and on those areas where performance might be slipping. Comparisons to the data from 2011 to present are available in Section 5 of the full report. The Trust has improved significantly on the following questions: Discharge: not told who to contact if worried 34 % 25 % Overall: not treated with respect or dignity 30 % 23 % Overall: did not always feel well looked after by staff 36 % 28 % The Trust has worsened significantly on the following questions: Surgery: not told how to expect to feel after operation or procedure 41 % 54 % 5
