The Patient Group, founded in 1993, brings patients and the practice together to shape better care. Its goals are:
The elected committee meets regularly with a practice partner and the practice manager. Every member is welcome at the Annual General Meeting, where the doctors share a set of talks after the short business meeting.
From its inception the Patient Group adopted a membership subscription, which was £10 per household per annum in 2018. However, from March 2019 the patient group became a charity and no longer requests a subscription.
However, if members are prepared to make a voluntary annual donation to help to fund the general running of the patient group that would be much appreciated.
The Patient Group is run by a committee of volunteers who meet on a regular basis with members of the practice team. If you are interested in the organisation of the Patient Group - from planning the input of the regular emailed bulletin to helping with the routine business of the committee - and would like to become more actively involved - please contact the group’s chairman:
