This Questionnaire is brought to you by Heartlands Patient Forum, we are a group of patients that volunteer our time every 6 weeks to discuss and review our service at Heartlands.

We will endeavour to listen, discuss and review areas of the service you think could be improved and maintaining the service standard whilst the current Trust merger is happening.

In order to review all patients opinions on the service we ask that you complete the questionnaire and return it to us in the box provided. Or complete the form online at hivbirmingham.nhs.uk

All patients are welcome to come to patient forum meeting, this is our group and our opportunity to have a voice over our service. Posters displaying meeting dates are in reception, or ask a member of staff. You can also email us confidentially on PeerMentoring@heartofengland.nhs.uk.
