iWantGreatCare.org is a service which allows NHS and private health care patients to rate individual GPs, hospital doctors and nursing staff on the care they provide.
Launched in July 2008, the service was founded by Dr. Neil Bacon FRCP, the founder of Doctors.net.uk, the largest independent online network of doctors in the UK. The company collects information from patients regarding the quality of care they have received from their doctor and other healthcare professionals, and believes that the capture of real-time patient feedback and experiences will lead to a higher level of healthcare in the UK. The controversial launch evoked outrage from some UK doctors against a system of collecting feedback on the care they provide to patients. In November 2014 the site had collected only 400 patient reviews of GPs, which are published on its website.
Rt Hon Alan Milburn, the former UK Secretary of State for Health, is the Chairman of iWantGreatCare.
Dr Neil Bacon is a commentator on e-health and patient feedback. In June 2012, he formed part of a UK delegation invited to Washington for the Health Datapalooza, a US health data forum attended by UK health secretary Andrew Lansley, US President Barack Obama and Jon Bon Jovi.
The discussion centred on how the two countries can work more closely to make health data a driver for innovation, economic growth and – most importantly – better care for patients.
