PALS Survey
A public survey about the experience of the Patient Advice & Liaison Service (PALS) in Kingston upon Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire.

This DOES NOT include the PALS services from Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust, York and Scarborough NHS Teaching Hospitals and Tees, Esk & Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust (TEWV).

This survey is conducted by Healthwatch Kingston upon Hull, the legal Data Controller for this information. We will use your feedback to understand how well the Patient Advice & Liaison Service (PALS) is working and to help local NHS services make improvements for patients and their families.

We will not be asking for any personal data and all results will be combined together for final reporting. We do not explicitly ask for identifiers like your name or date of birth. This survey is hosted on SmartSurvey, which securely processes data in the UK. All information is managed under strict confidentiality.

Your responses will be kept securely and then permanently deleted. Combined, fully anonymised findings will be published in public reports and shared with local NHS partners.

By completing this survey you agree that your participation is voluntary, and that the responses are anonymous, and that the anonymised feedback will be used to evaluate and improve the PALS service.

This is fantastic news for patients with COPD, so many people tell us how it has affected their lives making them socially isolated and struggling with crippling anxiety over their breathlessness

Antimicrobial resistance(AMR) is on the increase. Lets all maintain good hand hygiene and infection control practices.

Antibiotics do not work for problems such as colds and flu, which are caused by viruses.
Using antibiotics when they're not needed encourages harmful bacteria that live inside you to become resistant – also known as antimicrobial resistance.

That means that antibiotics may not work when you really need them. Three steps we can all take to help prevent Antimicrobial Resistance:

• Protect yourself from infections, e.g. by getting vaccinated when eligible
• Only take antibiotics and other antimicrobials when prescribed
• Never share or use leftover antibiotics.
