Friends & Family Test
After each consultation a text message is sent out asking about your recent appointment with 3W Health. Overall, how was your experience of our service? This is known as the Friends and Family Test.
We do ask patients to provide a reason for their answer if they would like to and to let us know if there is anything we could have done better – this information is regularly shared with all our staff members so that together we can continue to build on our strengths and improve our services as 3W Health.
Thank you to all our patients that take the time to complete this for us.
Below is the data for January.

When you quit, your amazing brain starts producing dopamine — your natural happy hormone — all on its own again.

A calmer, less stressed you is closer than you think.
