We are setting up a Patient Participation Group at Shepperton Medical Practice. We are looking for people to join the group and are hoping to recruit a wide range of pa-tients so that the Practice population is fairly represented, that is, a mix of young, elderly, men and women, those with long term condi-tions, employed, unemployed, carers, patients with a disability and patients from different ethnic back-grounds, etc.
The group will meet at the surgery once every 3-6 months at an agreed date and time.
We believe that the group will be invaluable in acting as an interface between patients and the practice, working proactively to improve services.
The aims of the group
include:- exchange of ideas/set up survey to improve patient experience discussions
regarding new patient services To act as a forum to feedback to the practice
suggestions for improvement to services pro-vided by us (patient services, the
organisation and the building and premises)
We are also setting up a Patient Reference Group with whom we can gather information and exchange ideas via e-mail. The group would not meet in person but could consist of up to 500 patients making up a “virtual” group.
This group would be called upon to assist the PPG when creating and conducting surveys or when the Practice requires patient input for new services and developments.
The Practice would set up and manage this e-mail group and contact patients from time to time, giving patients in the Reference Group an opportunity to have a say.
We are looking for patients
in any age group, but particularly those with young children, teenagers, carers,
patients with a disability, as well as those with long term conditions (such
as asthma, hypertension, heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes etc).
