Share your experience on Care Opinion
Care Opinion (external site) is a social media platform where you can provide feedback about your experience, or the experience of someone you know, with one of our hospitals or our health service.
Anyone can use Care Opinion – it is available to all consumers.
By sharing your story on Care Opinion we:
