The Northolme Practice

PATIENT PARTICIPATION GROUP

The practice is currently looking for patients to volunteer to join our Patient Participation Group.

The practice is looking for patients from all age groups, social and cultural backgrounds to re-establish the patient participation group. All that is required is that you attend regularly and participate in open and honest discussion.

The Partners are keen to involve patients in the development of patient services and care at Northolme. The practice believes that the Patient Participation Group is invaluable in acting as a main interface between patients at the practice.

The Patient Participation Group can work together with the practice to influence the decisions that are made on behalf of patients about the services that are to be available to them.

What does a Patient Participation Group do?

This group will work with the practice to:

Be a forum to feedback to the practice suggestions for continual improvement to services provided by the practice in order to improve services offered to patients

To improve communication between the practice and its patients, to promote a
clearer understanding from both sides

Help patients to take more responsibility for their health; and

Provide practical support and help
to implement changes

Meetings

Meetings will be held every 3-4 months and will take place early evening at either Northowram or Kos clinic.
