Purpose of the Group
The group comprises of patients of the surgery who wish to work together with the social prescriber and the practice to help meet the needs of patients, to improve services and share an understanding of issues and opportunities.
We do this by listening to the views of patients and directly using feedback from our questionnaires and dialogue with the staff.
By working together in a constructive way the Heath Centre we have over the last few years:
