YOUR PATIENT GROUP – GET INVOLVED!
The Patient Group (PG) provides a facility for two way communication between the practice and registered patients. The group can provide feedback to the practice on patient’s needs, concerns and suggestions, and can also constructively challenge how our healthcare is delivered. The group can also develop projects and events to promote good health and lifestyle practice and awareness.
The PG comprises volunteers registered with the practice and members of the professional team. It works very closely with the practice, but is an independent group. We meet 3 to 4 times a year and occasionally more frequently when projects are in progress. The group endeavours to have a membership which represents the population covered by the practice, both demographically and geographically.
The group has been running since 2011, but since the Covid lockdown of 2020 has not been active. We now wish to re-energise and restart the group, and we are looking for new group members. If you wish to be involved, contact Steve Colderick at colderick@btinternet.com to register your interest. Please tell us a little bit about yourself, and any particular areas of interest or skills (but these are not essential, a commitment to active involvement in the group is more important!). Responses by Friday 24th November, and we will contact respondees in early December.
