Patient Reference Group

We have set up a patient reference group to give us feedback on the range and quality of our services and tell us where we can improve.

Our aim is to reach a wide range of patients so we get views from across our population. To make it as easy as possible for you and us, it will be a virtual group. This means most of the communication will be through e-mail and completing on-line surveys. However, we will make sure those without internet access are represented.

What will be involved?

The main role of the group is to give us feedback through a survey. It asks patients a series of simple questions about how we are doing.

We want to pose the right questions, so the group will be asked to tell us what questions we should be asking. We will then publish the survey results along with our proposal to improve the areas it highlights as in need of change. You will have the chance to let us know if you agree with our plans. At the end of the year we will publish the results of our achievements.

We would also like to send our seasonal Practice Newsletters out by e-mail, to as many patients as possible and electronically will be a very effective way to do this.

What will I have to do?

If you are interested in helping us to improve simply complete the attached form and return it to us.

You can either hand the form into reception or e-mail it back to us at:

The 2011/2012 Patient Survey Report is now available for perusal. Please click on "Survey Report" under Further Information, on the right hand side.

Updating patients' records

We are currently asking patients to complete some basic details to ensure that our records are 100% correct e.g. telephone numbers. We would also like to take e-mail addresses so that we can ensure the practice Newsletters are seen by as many patients as possible, not just those who attend the surgery.

Pneumonia vaccination

All patients aged over 65 are eligible for a pneumonia vaccination. This is a single injection that provides lifelong protection. If you will be aged 65 or over on 31st March 2014 and have not been vaccinated, please book via reception.
