Participation Patient Group
Are you proud of your local Surgery…...or would you like to see
changes and be able to influence these?
With changes in the NHS and real opportunities for it to become more of
a patient driven service, we are keen to involve more of our patients in
this process. The NHS has to find savings of £20 billion a year (£245
millions across all NHS organisations in Derbyshire between now and
March 2014) at the same time as endeavouring to improve care and
serviced already offered and to implement new ones.
Here at the Surgery we currently have a small Patient Participation
Group who meet bi-monthly on a Tuesday evening. We would like more
patients to be involved to help shape both the services which we offer
locally, and understand the “bigger picture” in the NHS. To be fully
representative of our patient list we would particularly welcome
teenagers to those in their 50’s.
We appreciate that everyone has busy lives and other commitments and
cannot always give time to attend meetings. For those patients there
will be an opportunity to take part in short surveys via email or via
our website feeding back their views and comments. We also welcome email
or telephone calls giving us your ideas or comments on our services.
If you are genuinely interested in the future of the NHS and services
provided locally please email or telephone:
