Great Yarmouth and Waveney CCG

HealthEast used online surveys to reach over 200,000 individual stakeholders for effective 360 feedback.

HealthEast, the local name for Great Yarmouth and Waveney Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), frequently carry out Public Sector surveys to gather feedback. HealthEast work in partnership with other organizations, such as local councils and the voluntary sector, to improve the health and well-being of the residents of Great Yarmouth and Waveney.

To effectively serve their external stakeholders, HealthEast required an online survey solution with features that would allow them to seek and gather feedback from key audiences, whilst remaining compliant with UK and EU data protection laws.

Making the consultation process more efficient

Using SmartSurvey’s online software, HealthEast administered surveys to over 236,000 stakeholders. The research was part of a public consultation, following a large communications campaign. They wanted to generate awareness of the opportunity to provide feedback and help shape future decisions. In order to offer multiple opportunities for people to take part in the survey, it was embedded on the HealthEast website and distributed via social media, email and post.

Contacting and engaging with large audiences can prove problematic. We advised stakeholders that we would create awareness of the survey via a public communications campaign, using posters and direct mail. We then distributed the survey online and in print to ensure all respondents had the opportunity to feedback to us in a manner that suited them.Engagement and Communications Officer, HealthEast.

Using logic to run personalized 360 feedback

HealthEast gathers information on a range of public services and the practitioners carrying out the services. By using 360 feedback they can ensure that the responses, from the general public and co-workers, are both confidential and anonymous. By using SmartSurvey’s online tools, the team are able to confidentially administer the questionnaire, collect data from personalized feedback and review responses without having to engage in face to face communications. This process ensures the procedure is completely anonymous.

Gathering feedback for internal projects

The engagement and communications team at HealthEast also use SmartSurvey to regularly gather feedback on internal projects.

We are currently looking to develop and update our existing website. By using the SmartSurvey software, we can gather feedback internally from a range of people to get regular input. This assists the project to progress quickly and efficiently, without having to use a lot of printed forms

Complying with the latest UK and EU Data Protection laws

Due to the nature of the public information that is captured, stored and used by HealthEast, it is essential that the survey provider used was compliant with the latest data protection laws. SmartSurvey ensures that all data received from account holders and respondents is fully protected using efficient security protocols, as advised by the NHS.
