Join our Patient Participation Group
The core group is the formal group of people including an elected Chair and other officers. It generally meets every three months for a couple of hours during the day at a time to suit the majority of attendees and also has a formal Annual General Meeting. Practice staff also attend these meetings.
So, are you interested and want to find out more? Or would you prefer an informal chat with the Chair of the group first? Please contact the practice form more information.
Getting your view
The group would like to contact patients on occasion by various media so that they can obtain the views of the widest group of patients possible. Check this part of the web site and practice notice boards for future details.
We would also encourage you to complete the NHS Friends and Family Patient Feedback requests when asked to do so. The Practice value all your comments and these can help make further improvements to the services.
