Friends and Family Test
The Friends and Family Test (FFT) is an important feedback tool that supports the fundamental principle that people who use NHS services should have the opportunity to provide feedback on their experience. It provides a mechanism to highlight patient experience and is vital in transforming NHS services, supporting patient choice and implementing changes based on your feedback.
Each month we will be sharing patient experiences from our different services, alongside a patient comment.
91.7%
of respondents has a positive experience at King Street Medical Centre in May.
"Appointment was arranged for me very quickly, GP was polite, professional and referred me to relevant service."
Keeping You Well
At the heart of community healthcare, GP surgeries and the healthcare professionals working within them play a crucial role in keeping us well.

Humber Youth Action Group (HYAG)
Do you know of any young people that might like to help us shape and improve our services at Humber through co-production? If so, please encourage them to join HYAG where young people aged 11-25 come together and tell us their thoughts, ideas and opinions about our services - they are truly making a difference.
By joining, young people can interview new staff members, design new?websites and marketing materials, develop their C/V, make new friends, and understand how the NHS is ran and funded.
We?understand joining a new group can be scary, that's why our Engagement Manager and Assistant for Children's Services can meet young people before choosing to join to ease any anxiety that they may have and answer any questions before their first meeting.

If you would also like to bring any co-production projects or ideas to the group or need help from the HYAG, please email Bethia (Engagement Manager) at?[email protected] or Flick (Engagement Assistant) at?[email protected].

The Youth Recovery & Wellbeing College is a community for those aged 11–18 living in Hull and the East Riding. The provision is led by young people through co-production and explores creative and empowering ways to improve wellbeing through nonclinical digital and face-to-face sessions, mentorship, podcasts, and team building activities.
How to engage?
What we do: We are a young person led service, exploring empowering ways to improve wellbeing.
Get involved in fun, engaging and creative face-to-face sessions:
Our face-to-face and nonclinical sessions take place in various locations where young people are, for example within young person community hubs, schools, colleges, and our own NHS children's services. You can see them here.
In these youth led sessions young people are encouraged to explore mood, emotion, relationships, confidence, and celebrate their individuality in non-judgemental environments through creative and nonclinical methods.

Sign-up to our digital offer:
Our digital platform is where young people can register with our service and gain access to our offers. Young people can self-refer. They can create profiles that then enables them to track their mood, build personal development through our learning modules and take part in our exciting youth podcasts called ‘On the Couch With.’
It is the digital platform where young people can register for the face-to-face sessions.
We are champions of co-production!
The provision prides itself on co-production meaning that all opportunities are designed by young people and delivered in collaboration with experienced youth practitioners and other NHS professionals as well as educational providers and creative persons or community hubs.
