How we are doing

Our membership team has again achieved the Customer Service Excellence Standard (CSE) in 2019, a recognised independent benchmark of excellent customer service.

We are also the proud recipients of two Princess Royal Training awards. One in recognition of the high quality of training for our medico-legal team and the other for the high quality of induction training implemented within the MDU. We are delighted to be the first medical defence organisation to achieve this accolade.

Service performance

We want our members to receive a better level of service than they would receive elsewhere. To achieve this, our membership team sets stringent performance targets and regularly surveys members to see how our service is being received. The feedback we obtain guides improvements to our service.

Member feedback

Member comments

Here is a selection of some of the comments we received via our survey:

"Extremely satisfied over the years"

"The team provides very good service. Thanks"

"Excellent. Always there when needed. Nothing but the highest praise when I was in need of help."

"Keep up the great work, everytime I have phoned the person answering has been polite and helpful."

"Well done - Continue your hardwork and Doctor Centeredness as very few Organisations in the UK do really provide any support to Clinicians who are in need."

Complaints

Over the past 12 months, only 0.12% of all telephone, letter and email enquiries received by the Membership team resulted in a complaint.

Quality of service

When measuring quality, we take into account many factors such as:

• the politeness and professionalism of our staff
• the clarity and accuracy of the information we provide
• the tone of our correspondence
• the overall time it takes to handle your enquiry
• being mindful of security when handling your personal data.
