Patient Participation Group
The Patient Participation Group is a group of patients who meet every month to discuss issues and ideas about Broom Leys Surgery. Their role is to be a critical friend to the practice and to support the practice and other patients. We also aim is to raise money for equipment and services which are not available on the NHS to benefit the patients at Broom Leys Surgery.
Patient Participation Group – what we do
We are a volunteer group of patients who meet regularly to:
- Support Patients in co-operation with the Practice raising money for patient facilities not funded by the NHS.
- Volunteer assistance at coffee mornings and any other activities organised by the Practice that benefit ‘carers or other groups of patients.
- At the discretion of the Practice, organise surveys to obtain patients’ views about Broom Leys Surgery and/or other related issues.
- Seek to improve patient awareness of the healthcare and social care choices and support available to them.
- Review and update the Patient Participation Group website on a regular basis
