Patient Participation Group
The Aims of the Patient Participation Group
We are pleased to announce that we have a Patient Participation Group involving and incorporating patients registered at our surgery.
Very briefly and at its simplest, Patient Participation refers to Patients taking an active interest in their Health Care and at present these groups function particularly in GP surgeries and Health Centres. The agenda and direction of the group will depend on the local needs, the interests and energies of the participants.
Topics raised can be very specific, very general or somewhere in between and any activities emanating from these topics will require time for them to be dealt with. Management, research, organising, planning and executing topics raised can be undertaken by the Patient Group, but there will always need to be regular communication with the Practice.
If you have any issues you wish to be raised you can write to North Wingfield Medical Centre, Chesterfield Road, North Wingfield, Chesterfield, Derbyshire S42 5ND.
Virtual Group
Additionally, if you would be interested in being part of a Virtual Group and communicate entirely by email or you would be interested in attending a Patient Participation Group meeting would you please write to our Practice Manager at North Wingfield Medical Centre, Chesterfield Road, North Wingfield, Chesterfield, Derbyshire S42 5ND or ask at Reception the next time you are in surgery.
Can we please emphasise that anyone who is interested MUST be a registered Patient with the Practice. If in the meantime if you require more information please do not hesitate to contact our Practice Manager.
