The MSW patient survey facility has been designed to help GP Practices meet the requirements outlined in the Directed Enhanced Services guidelines for this year.
The purpose of the Patient Experience DES is to ensure that patients are involved in decisions about the range and quality of services provided and, over time, commissioned by their practice. It aims to encourage and reward practices for routinely asking for and acting on the views of their patients.
Included with your MSW website is the suite of tools knowns as My Surgery Office and within this is the simplest most effective way of creating a survey you will ever see. You do not need any third party software, your website will take care of it all. Once you have created your survey, adding it to your website is as easy as clicking a button.
Results are displayed in a straightforward format in My Surgery Office and can be published directly on to your website.
Would you like patients to sign up to your group online? Would you also like to contact them through your website? We will help.
Use the form that we supply you with your website to recruit your representative patient group. When you accept each patient into the group their details are automatically added into My Surgery Office where you can generate a report on the ethnicity, age, gender and attendance numbers to show your group truly is representative. You can easily email everyone from here too, as well as send them all a survey if you like!
Although the DES only applies in England and Wales, practices in Scotland and Northern Ireland can of course still use it to investigate how their services are perceived by their patients.
We are confident that you will not find an easier way to create surveys. There are no special tools to master - you simply type your survey out the way you want it to appear and save it before publishing on your website.

Helen Bell, Borough Road and Nunthorpe Medical Group
"Many thanks for your prompt and considerate response. I am very satisfied with the service that you have provided - excellent! I am most reassured that you have provided a plain English response and will always do so. I am not the most technical of people!! However, I do understand what you have done and appreciate the step by step information that you have provided in response to my request for support. As advised, I will not hesitate to contact you in future. I just wish I had done so sooner on this occasion. I had been mulling this one over, on and off, for a few days and thought that I must have misunderstood something somewhere! I now realise that it is far better for us to be using the default content and look forward to asking for your support again soon when we are at the stage of needing to prepare surveys."
