Patient Participation Group

The doctors would like to hear your views about the practice and to facilitate this have set up a patient participation group (PPG). If you haven't joined the group yet you can do this online or alternatively complete a form at the reception desk. Members must be registered patients here at the practice.

Face to Face Meetings

The PPG originally started as a virtual group back in 2011. Since then we have seen the members of the PPG grow and felt that in order to benefit both the PPG members and the practice having quarterly meetings face to face would in building the relationships up between the PPG and practice and these commenced in November 2012.

Friends and Family Test

This is an ongoing survey whereby patients are asked if they would recommend our practice to their friends and family based on their experience. You can complete the survey either online via our website or by completing a postcard available from reception in the practice.

All data is collated and submitted to NHS England every month. Your feedback is much appreciated and we would be grateful if you could complete the survey which takes less than a minute if you have had any contact with the surgery, you don't have to have seen a clinican.

Thank you.
