Dear Patient,
We would like your input on how we can improve our services to you and how you perceive our surgery and staff.
In 2011/12 we developed a virtual patient participation group (PPG) which always welcomes new members. We ask the members of the group questions and opinions from time to time, such as what you think about our opening times or local services. We will contact you via email and keep our surveys succinct so it shouldn’t take too much of your time.
We would like to gather more patients from as broad a spectrum as possible to get a truly representative sample. We need young people, workers, retirees, people with long term conditions and people from non-British ethnic groups. We currently have 25 members which we hope to increase in the coming year.
The recent Patient Survey was created with input from members of the PPG, who also commented on the survey results and report. The first face to face PPG meeting took place on 12th March 2013 and subsequent meetings have had an improved patient turnout. We hope this is an ongoing trend and more patients will be available to attend future meetings which are now held on a quarterly basis. We welcome any new members.
A report on the initial development and involvement of the PRG can be accessed via the link below and via the Survey Report link:-
