A survey was undertaken by Audit South West for Urgent Health UK (UHUK), the Out of Hours member organisation, with staff from all organisation members encouraged to take part. Across 14 questions the survey sought the views of staff about BrisDoc’s culture with respect to patient safety. Our overall score was an impressive 81 compared to the survey average score of 78, the higher the score the more positive staff felt.
