Patient Satisfaction Survey
POST OP PAIN SURVEY
We need to know whether patients discharged after surgery experience any post operative complications or suffer unexpected levels of pain. All patients who have undergone a procedure under general anaesthetic are asked to complete this survey the day after surgery, whether or not they have these sypmtoms. Any patient experiencing severe symptoms should call the hospital.
Please click on the link below to start the survey. If you experience any difficulty, please send an email via the General Contact tab on this page and we will call you.
Post Op Pain Survey
Epsomedical operates theatres on sites without ITU (intensive care) facilities. Patients listed for a procedure at our units are asked to complete an online medical questionnaire designed to help us confirm as quickly as possible that they can be safely treated in our theatres.
Please click on the link below to complete questionnaire. You will need to enter your patient number and date of birth. Your patient number can be found on any correspondence sent by us underneath your name and address. Whilst developed for most devices, the questionnaire works best on a desktop web browser i.e. Internet Explorer or Google Chrome. To prevent multiple clicking back to your year of birth, Android uses should tap the year presented on the calendar and then scroll back.
Should you make an error during the completion of the document, you will get a chance to change the entry using the edit link on the last page before submission. Your information is held securely on our encrypted server and cannot be accessed once submitted.

What is the time limit for making a complaint?
You can complain within 12 months of the event(s) concerned or within 12 months of becoming aware that you have something to complain about. The Registered Manager has the discretion to waive the time limit if there are good reasons why you could not complain earlier.
To whom should I complain?
You can raise your concerns immediately by speaking to a member of staff (e.g. doctor, nurse, or administrator). They may be able to resolve your concerns without the need to make a formal complaint.
If this is not possible, or you are not satisfied with the response, you can make a written complaint using the appropriate link in the General Contact tab on this page, or in writing to the Compliance Manager.
