Patient Participation Group

Since November 2012 a Patient Participation Steering Group with 10 patient members, a practice partner and the practice manager has worked to promote effective communication between the practice and its patients and to ensure that patients are involved in the development and monitoring of services at the Medical Centre.

To ensure the widest possible patient participation all interested patients are encouraged to register their interest in the wider on-line Patient Participation Group that

acts as a reference group for the consideration of issues that need to be tackled and have been identified as priorities by the Steering Group

advances new ideas and proposals for the Steering Group to progress in discussion with practice partners and management

All you need to do to become involved is to let the Practice Manager (Tushar Shah) know you are interested - make sure he has your contact details. You will then

be contacted automatically about all Open Meetings
be asked for your views on specific issues being considered by the Steering Group
be able to bring your ideas and concerns directly to the Steering Group for them to progress directly with practice partners and management
