Patient Groups
We already have a well established and valued Patient Support Group who meet regularly with the Practice. The group discuss items of mutual interest to the practice and patients, have formed a Voluntary Drivers Scheme and hold fund-raising events to support the Practice with the purchase of items for the benefit of our patients.
We recognise that not every patient has the time to give this level of commitment, but may still have an interest and opinions on how to keep the practice's services at the highest quality. We are therefore developing a Patient Reference Group on a larger scale.
Online Patient Reference Group
We would like to know how we can improve our service to you and how you perceive the care you receive from our surgery and staff.
To help us with this, we are setting up a virtual patient reference group so that you can have your say. We will ask the members of this representative group some questions from time to time, such as what you think about our opening times or the quality of the care or service you received. We will contact you via email and keep our surveys succinct so it shouldn’t take too much of your time.
We aim to gather around a hundred patients from as broad a spectrum as possible to get a truly representative sample. We need a mix of young people, workers, retirees, people with long term conditions and people from non-British ethnic groups, for example.
If you are happy for us to contact you occasionally by email (probably between two and four times each year) please click the link below to open the sign-up form and complete all the fields.
