The Practice has set up a Patient Participation Group with the following aims and objectives:

  • To create and improve two-way communication between patients, the Practice and the community it serves
  • To bring a sense of partnership between Practice and patients
  • To give patients a voice in the organisation of their care
  • To provide an avenue for patients to make an input in the way facilities and services are planned and executed
  • To provide constructive two-way feedback on patient and community needs and concerns
  • To support the Practice in good health promotions, preventative medicine and health literacy
  • To be involved in the collection of Patients' opinions and experiences to help the practice to evaluate its services
