Knexu Sport Limited will seek feedback from all individuals on using the service. This will be in a standard questionnaire form.
The standard questionnaire will be emailed to individuals to complete. It will be done on a quarterly basis.
The questionnaire will have the following elements:
• How you found accessing services?
• How was the experience of your whole pathway?
• Would you recommend the platform?
• Did we meet expectations?
The results of this will be published annually and will have an accompanying action plan.
Within our feedback from service users we will also deem critical points within a patient journey as points of learning. These critical points are:
• Refund for services
• Replacement of products (e.g. blood tests)
We also have our complaints, concerns, compliments, and comments for patients. This enables us to respond to the 4Cs within 24 working hours and will work to resolve patient queries in line with our feedback policy.

Our platform is built to allow individuals a safe and secure online experience. Our site is fully digital compliant and our systems allow for safe storage of medical information.
As a provider we do not assess any care needs of individuals, our system is built where health care professionals can refer into clinical services as part of their care plan.
We have measures in place to ensure that individuals are not over testing. This includes monitoring:
• Regular usage of scanning on a particular patient.
• Regular ordering of blood tests.
All our contracted services have a clinical handoff point:
• For blood testing this is a doctors review and recommendation on any required interventions or clinical services
• For imaging, a report which requires other opinion or further intervention is added within the conclusion.
Any other risks that are managed through the platform would be:
• Where an individual seeks help for services that we do not provide – we would refer to their GP or ask to contact NHS 111 service.
• Where a request that comes in asking for immediate help, or risk to life we would ask for the details of the individual and would pass these on immediately to the police as per our safeguarding policy.
Where an individual may “service hop” and request services across multiple locations to avoid any suspicious behaviour patterns, we would review referrals and ask the referring clinician to confirm that the patient was not acting in any suspicious manner. Where required this would be escalated using our safeguarding policy.
