Aneurin Bevan University Health Board introduced introducing CIVICA - an electronic Citizen Feedback platform that will help people who are using our services to tell us what they think about their care.

We want to provide the best care possible, so it is really important to us that people tell us about their health care experiences. Feedback will help us to learn, make changes where we need to and celebrate what we do well.

This can alter due to the ward dynamic , things that are going on and the presentation of patients.
