Patient participation group

We have gathered enthusiastic patient representatives. These include young people, workers, retirees, people with long term conditions and people from non-British ethnic groups.

We are still taking on new recruits but if the numbers get too large then we may have to limit this so it doesn't become unworkable, whilst still representing a good spectrum of patients.

• To offer opinions in a constructive manner and to put forward ideas on behalf of other patients.
• To improve the provision of health care.
• To improve communication between surgery, patients and the wider community about matters concerning the surgery and health in general.
• To provide assistance in development of new services.
• To encourage a spirit of self help and support amongst patients to improve their health and social care.
