Tell us about your experience with the service you have used:
The NHS Friends and Family Test (FFT) is a quick and anonymous way for patients to provide feedback on the care or treatment they received from NHS services.
The ratings and comments patients share with us help us to identify areas for improvement and to give staff the opportunity to hear about the difference they have made through the care they’ve received.
The results, in the form of the percentage of patients with a good experience, are published transparently on the NHS website.
You can find out more about how it works by watching the FFT animations at the bottom of this page.
You'll be asked: "Overall, how was your experience of our service?"
You can rank your answer from "very good" to "very poor". You'll have the opportunity to explain your score by adding comments, and you may also be asked some follow-up questions. This is important because service providers can only make changes if they know exactly what is or is not working. Some teams may ask this question as part of a longer survey that they are carrying out in their service.
After you've completed your treatment or you're discharged from a service, you may be invited to complete the FFT.
You may be asked while you're still on the premises by a staff member or one of our Patient Feedback Volunteers, or you may be contacted once you have returned home. We may ask you to give your feedback by email, by text message, over the phone or using our website.
North Bristol NHS Trust work with Healthcare Communications to collect FFT feedback. Our lawful basis for processing your data can be found in the Trust’s Privacy Policy. Please refer specifically to Article 6 (e) & (f) of the General Data Protection Regulations which is relevant to this project.
You may not be asked every time you visit one of our hospitals to give feedback, but you should be able to give feedback if you want to. You can fill out the online form on this page, scan a QR code around the hospital that will take you to the survey or there may be feedback forms in waiting areas, which you can complete. Ask a member of staff if you cannot find a feedback form and you want to give feedback.
Your answer is voluntary. Your answer will not be traced back to you, and your details will not be passed on to anyone.
But if you do answer, your feedback will provide valuable information for the service to celebrate positive feedback and identify opportunities to make improvements.
If you do not want us to contact you to ask for your feedback you can tell us by contacting the Patient Advice Liaison Service - PALS on 0117 414 4569 or by emailing PALS@nbt.nhs.uk
It is for the patient or their friends, family members and carers to respond to.
When the Friends and Family Test was launched in 2013, it asked people to think about whether they would recommend the service to their friends or family members.
Following a review, in April 2020 changes were made to the FFT to make it easier to respond to and for staff to make better use of the feedback. As a result, it no longer asks this question about friends and family members, but it is still called the Friends and Family Test.
We want to make sure that all patients are enabled to give feedback about their care. The web version of our survey has a button built in that adds text-to-speech, reading and translation support. However, if you need assistance due to a disability or mental health problem or need a paper copy of the survey, please contact us by telephoning 0117 414 4569 or emailing PALS@nbt.nhs.uk
A friend or family member is welcome to answer the question on your behalf, if this is appropriate.
If you feel that you should have been given the opportunity to respond, but did not receive the question, you can give feedback on this page by selecting the relevant survey (Inpatient, Outpatient etc.).

The paediatric (children’s) laser service is now based at Bristol Children’s Hospital, which has a vascular laser for the treatment of port wine stain birthmarks and other skin conditions. The service is run by the paediatric dermatology department under the leadership of Dr Lindsay Shaw, Consultant Dermatologist. Dr Kay Thomas, who leads the Bristol Laser Centre at Southmead Hospital, holds clinics at the Bristol Children’s Hospital three times a month and provides the majority of the laser treatments.
Laser treatment for children with significant facial birthmarks is funded by NHS England. A referral letter will be required from your GP or hospital specialist. NHS referrals for children should be sent to Dr Lindsay Shaw, Consultant Dermatologist, Bristol Children’s Hospital.
If it is not possible to get NHS funding you can choose to pay for your child’s treatment. For further information, contact the Bristol Laser Centre. We require a referral letter from your GP for all patients under 16, even if you are self-funding the treatment.
If you have any questions about laser treatment for children please contact the laser centre on 0117 4141212 or contact the Bristol Laser Centre.
Here at Bristol Laser Centre we offer laser treatment for age spots on your hands, face, and body.
Age spots are flat patches of brown pigmentation. They usually fade well with laser treatment but more than one treatment may be required.
It is important to check that any brown lesions or patches of skin are benign before any laser treatment can start. Because it may be some time before we can see you, we advise you to see your GP or dermatologist first to check your lesion has no suspicious features that may mean a different treatment is needed.
We use a Qswitched NdYAG laser to treat age spots. 2 or 3 treatments may be needed to get the maximum amount of fading. Sometimes age spots come back after a few years and need further laser treatment.
You will need to look after your skin carefully for 1-2 weeks after each treatment. You should also use a high factor sunblock on the area after treatment to help the spot fade and reduce the risk of it coming back. Our specialist will advise you how to look after your skin.
The risk of scarring from treatment with the Qswitched NdYAG laser is very low.
Occasionally the treatment can cause the natural pigment of your skin to decrease or increase, leaving a paler or darker mark where the treatment has been. This usually returns to normal but can take a long time to do so.
The risk of side-effects is higher if you have a suntan when treated so you should protect the area from the sun and wear sun block before and during the course of treatment.
Laser treatment may not be suitable for people with very dark skin because of the increased risk of side-effects.
The risks of treatment will be full discussed with you at your consultation.
Laser treatment for age spots is not routinely funded on the NHS. In severe or exceptional conditions the Exceptional Funding Panel in your area may consider this. If you think you may be eligible, discuss this with your GP.
If you cannot get NHS funding you can self-fund your consultation and treatment at Bristol Laser Centre. We offer a sensitive, personal, honest approach.
An initial consultation with a specialist doctor is always required. This costs £120. During the initial consultation you will discuss your specific needs. We may then offer a test patch to show how well you may respond to the treatment.
Age spot laser treatment sessions start from £145 per session.
If you have any questions or would like to arrange a consultation, please phone us on 0117 414 1212.

At Bristol Laser Centre we offer laser hair removal for both men and women. Areas that can be treated include the face, neck, underarms, back, shoulders, chest, breasts, legs, and bikini area.
There are many ways to remove unwanted hair, but laser hair is quick and effective with long-lasting results. Many people who have unwanted facial hair problems find their confidence and quality of life improve when they no longer have to worry about removing their hair every day.
The type of laser used depends on your skin type.
We have an Alexandrite laser which is very good for controlling dark hair on fair skin, and the reduction in hair is often permanent.
We also have a long pulsed NdYag laser which is safe to use on darker skin. It is most effective on coarse, dark hair, but isn’t as good on fine hair.
Laser treatment does not work on white or blonde hair.
Most people need 4-6 treatment sessions as an initial course to give the best results. Many people then have top-up treatments once or twice a year to keep the hair under good control.
You need to look after your skin carefully after each treatment, but any redness usually settles down in a day or two.
It is very important that your skin is as pale as possible for treatment. You should wear a high factor sunblock on the area before and during the course of treatment, and should not use sun beds or fake tans. If you have a sun tan we may need to delay your next treatment.
You can continue to shave or cut the hair between treatments, but should not wax, pluck, or use depilatory (hair removal) creams.
The risk of scarring is very low. There is also a low risk of skin pigment changes after treatment. This may appear as a light or dark patch of skin which is usually temporary but can occasionally be permanent.
The risk of side-effects is higher if you have naturally dark skin or if you have treatment when you have a suntan.
The benefits and risks of treatment will be fully discussed with you at your consultation.
Laser treatment for hair removal is not routinely funded on the NHS. In severe or exceptional conditions the Exceptional Funding Panel in your area may consider this. If you think you may be eligible, discuss this with your GP.

I had suffered for years with excess facial hair and spent a fortune on electrolysis, epil 2000 and waxing without success. I tried desperately to hide the hair by using my hands to shield the affected area and would never have my hair cut in a short style as I felt I needed the length to somehow hide the problem.
Here at Bristol Laser Centre we offer laser treatment as a way or reducing spots and redness from acne. Acne is very common in adults and teenagers. Nearly everyone has had acne at some point in their life.
Laser treatment works best for people with mild to moderate acne. It is especially suitable for people who have already tried the usual treatments like creams and antibiotics with little or no success.
Pulsed dye laser treatment can help to reduce acne spots but it does not work for everyone. It can also help to fade red marks left behind by acne spots but it will not remove pits or craters in the skin's surface.
Laser treatment is not suitable for severe, cystic acne which is causing scarring. If you have severe acne you should see your GP or dermatologist to discuss medication.
We use a Cynergy laser to treat acne. Most people have 2-3 laser treatment sessions about 3-4 weeks apart. Most people start to notice the results after the first or second treatment.
The benefits of laser treatment may wear off after a few months and top-up treatment may be needed.
Aftercare of your skin is very simple and any redness usually settles in a day or two. Our specialist will advise you on how to look after your skin.
Laser treatment for acne has a very low risk of side-effects. The risk of scarring is very low.
If the laser is used to treat red patches it can occasionally cause the normal skin pigment to increase or decrease, leaving a dark or pale mark where the treatment has been. This usually returns to normal but can take some time to do so.
Side-effects are more common if your skin is tanned when treated so you should protect the area from sun and use sun block before and during the course of treatment.
Laser treatment may not be suitable for people with very dark skin because of the increased risk of side-effects.
Laser treatment for acne is not routinely funded on the NHS. In severe or exceptional conditions the Exceptional Funding Panel in your area may consider this. If you think you may be eligible, discuss this with your GP.

Spider naevi is the name for small clumps of blood vessels which appear on the surface of the skin. They are described as ‘spiders’ because of their appearance.
Spider naevi are very common and are usually seen in the upper body, face, neck, upper chest, and arms.
A pulsed dye laser is usually used for the treatment of spider naevi. The laser delivers a pulse of light to the blood vessels causing them to seal up and fade away.
Laser treatment of spider naevi is highly effective and the risk of scarring is very low.
An initial consultation is always needed, and the first treatment session can usually be done straight after this. A second session may be needed about 8 weeks later.
The laser may cause some bruising in the treated areas for a week after treatment; during this time you should avoid contact sports and swimming. You may need to wear a high factor sunblock and avoid excessive sun exposure for the whole course of treatment.
Our specialist will advise you on how to look after your skin.
Laser treatment for spider naevi is not routinely funded on the NHS. In severe or exceptional conditions the Exceptional Funding Panel in your area may consider this. If you think you may be eligible, discuss this with your GP.

Rosacea is a very common skin condition. People with rosacea flush easily and often develop redness, threadveins, and spots on their cheeks, nose, and forehead. It often starts around the age of 30 and can come and go for several years.
Treatment with a vascular laser is usually helpful for reducing redness and thread veins associated with rosacea but it may not have much effect on spots or pustules. Spots are usually best treated by antibiotics or topical creams from your GP or dermatologist.
The laser delivers a powerful beam of light to the blood vessels causing them to seal up and fade away. We have a pulsed dye laser and a NdYAG laser. We will discuss which technique may be most suitable for you at your consultation.
The first step is an initial consultation, after which we may offer you a patch test. This is to find out how well your skin will respond to the laser treatment. If the patch test is successful you can start to have regular sessions.
Most people get the best results in 2-4 treatments. The length of each session and how many you need varies depending on the severity of the condition.
The laser may cause some bruising in the treated areas for a few days after treatment. You will need to avoid strenuous exercise for a couple of days and look after your skin carefully.
You may need to wear a high factor sunblock and avoid excessive sun exposure for the whole course of treatment.
Our specialist will advise you on how to look after your skin.
The risk of scarring from the vascular laser is very low.
The treatment can occasionally cause the normal pigment of the skin to decrease or increase, leaving a pale or dark mark where the treatment has been. This usually returns to normal but can take a long time.
Side-effects are more likely if the skin is tanned when treated so you should protect the area from the sun and wear sun block before and during the course of treatment.
Laser treatment may not be suitable for people with very dark skin because of the increased risk of side-effects.

Threadveins are very small veins in the skin itself. They look like thin red or blue lines in the skin. They don’t cause any symptoms but are visible so you may dislike their appearance. Threadveins are extremely common. They may be associated with rosacea or previous sun exposure.
Laser treatment is a safe and effective way of treating facial redness and threadveins by shutting down the blood vessels with minimal effect on the surrounding skin.
Facial threadveins and redness usually respond well to laser treatment with our vascular laser. We have the option of a pulse dye laser or long-pulsed NdYAG laser depending on your individual needs.
You may need several treatment sessions to get the best results.
Treatment with the pulsed dye laser leaves purple bruising after treatment for about a week. After treatment with the long-pulsed NdYAG laser the skin may also be a little sore, red, and some people get some crusting on the treated area for a few days.
You will need to look after your skin carefully for two to three weeks after each appointment. You may also need to wear a high factor sunblock on the treated area for the whole course of treatment. You will be given written information about how to look after your skin.
Laser treatment for facial threadveins is not routinely funded on the NHS. The Exceptional Funding Panel in your area may consider funding for patients with unusually severe conditions or exceptional circumstances. If you think you may be eligible, discuss this with your GP.
If you cannot get NHS funding you can self-fund your consultation and treatment at Bristol Laser Centre. We offer a sensitive, personal, honest approach.
An initial consultation with a specialist doctor is always required. This costs £120. During the initial consultation we will discuss your specific needs.
