Evergreen Surgery is keen to recruit more patients for its Patient Participation Group. It comprises volunteer surgery patients who are willing to give up a small amount of their time to work together with the staff and doctors to help them to meet the needs of patients, to improve services and to share an understanding of issues and opportunities.
A group of volunteer patients, carers and surgery staff who meet regularly to discuss and support the running of the surgery.
Patient Participation Groups look at the services offered, patient experience and how improvements can be made for the benefit of everyone.
Each Patient Participation Group is different, but they all have the aim of making sure that the surgery puts the patient, and improving health, at the heart of everything it does.
We hope the group will:
- Provide a channel of communication between practice staff and patients to break down barriers to communication and enable sharing of information
- Help themselves and other patients to take more responsibility for their health
- Provide practical support to the surgery
- Contribute to continuous improvement of services determined by the needs of the community
Join our Patient Participation Group
All registered patients are able to join our Patient Participation Group. People of all genders, ages, ethnicities, and those with health conditions and disabilities are encouraged to join.
Members should as far as possible, be representative of the surgery population.
To join:
- phone us on 0208 887 8354
- ask at reception to join
Some members come to occasional meetings, some take part solely via email. Either way, we value insights from patients to help shape the future of the surgery.
This information you provide will help us to make sure that we try to speak to a representative sample of the patients that are registered at this practice.
