When we started a group it was called Friends of the practice. We encouraged patients to be part of the Patient Participation Group by putting up leaflets in the waiting room, notices on the website and asking patients while they were waiting for doctor’s appointments. Only very few patients replied. Out of 6 replies, only 3 attended the meeting.
Action plan
We are going to encourage patients to join the Patient Participation Group and to book appointments and order repeat prescriptions online.
Join our Patient Participation Group
All registered patients are able to join our Patient Participation Group. People of all genders, ages, ethnicities, and those with health conditions and disabilities are encouraged to join.
Members should as far as possible, be representative of the surgery population.
