DrMSF provides patient feedback survey questionnaires and 360 MSF surveys, previously available on the GMC website. We also offer a ballot box for the secure collection of 360-degree feedback from patients. Alternatively, you can download and print 360 MSF survey questionnaires directly from our website or the GMC site. A PDF version is accessible via the button below.
The GMC patient feedback survey questionnaire is designed to be distributed to consecutive patients (or carers) as a post-consultation or ‘exit’ survey. Since 2012, our reports have consistently met or exceeded GMC guidelines and requirements for appraisal and revalidation. A structured patient feedback survey enables healthcare professionals to collect meaningful insights and enhance patient care.
Most agencies recognize 360-degree feedback reports compiled from a minimum of 25 completed patient feedback survey questionnaires. The GMC recommends gathering at least 34 completed patient feedback surveys to obtain a comprehensive assessment of performance from a patient perspective. DrMSF provides data entry for up to 40 GMC patient questionnaires as part of our standard service, ensuring a seamless process for collecting and analyzing patient feedback.
Utilizing structured patient feedback survey questionnaires is essential for GMC revalidation, clinical appraisal feedback, and ongoing professional development. Whether you require a doctor feedback survey, a patient satisfaction survey, or a multi-source feedback (MSF) report, DrMSF offers validated tools to support your needs. Our healthcare surveys assist medical professionals in evaluating their performance while ensuring compliance with medical appraisal survey standards and enhancing the patient experience survey process.
DrMSF continues to use the GMC colleague questionnaire. The colleague survey can be completed either on paper or online by emailing your colleagues a link to the survey. Once completed, the report is forwarded to you along with the GMC benchmarking data and our template for reflection. Since 2012, DrMSF 360 reports have been successfully used to gather colleague feedback for doctors' appraisals and revalidations.

DrMSF reports have been successfully employed in thousands of appraisals and revalidations since 2012. DrMSF uses the GMC's colleague and patient questionnaires as standard. Using the GMC forms for data collection ensures that our reports meet the GMC requirements, but rest assured that DrMSF reports also exceed these guidlines.
The reports were designed with clarity and ease of use in mind. The responses to each question are presented as both frequency counts and percentages, making them easy to interpret. The final table of the report provides you with scores, ratings and percentages for each question. The percentage calculation methods matches those that generated the GMC benchmarks. You can confidently compare your scores with the GMC's own benchmarks. At the end of the process you are emailed the report, the GMC benchmarking data, and our handy 'template for reflection'. Our reports provide supporting evidence of 360° multi-source feedback for your appraisal and revalidation requirements.
The GMC says you must reflect on feedback from colleagues and patients (or if you don’t have patients, those you provide medical services to) at least once in every revalidation cycle. DrMSF's template for reflection will help you with the process of reflection. The aim of reflection is to identify what you are doing well and ways to improve your practice. All feedback, both positive and critical, is valuable if it helps you to reflect on your practice. The GMC states that appraisals should take into account all of the information you gather about your practice. The multi-source 360 degree feedback you gain should not be used in isolation for making judgements.
Data collection for the colleague survey should be managed by an independent survey organisation. Doctors provide the survey organisation with a list of their nominated colleagues, and their e-mail or postal addresses.
At the beginning of the survey process, doctors might like to nominate a ‘supporting medical colleague’ with whom they can informally discuss their report shortly after its receipt.
Appraisal is a supportive and developmental forum, giving you the opportunity to reflect on your professional practice over the past year. Reflecting on both positive and critical experiences and being supported to reflect, is important for your wellbeing and development. Reflecting on your supporting information and what it says about your practice will help you improve the quality of care you give your patients and the services you provide as a doctor. You will not meet our requirements by simply collecting the required information.
