PATIENT PARTICIPATION GROUP

 Newsletter April 2008

Keyworth Medical Practice has launched a Patient Participation Group to facilitate closer cooperation between Practice medical & nursing staff and the registered Patients.

 

The Group numbers 12 registered Patients all of whom are committed to supporting and helping develop the excellent, new Practice facilities for the benefit of Patients.

 

The Group will concern itself initially with three main areas and will seek the views of Patients and their Carers:

 

Communication

 

-         Providing a route for patient feedback to the Medical Practice, initially by the Patients’ survey, and to publicise a response.

-         To provide good links between the Medical Practice and Patients.

 

Health Education

 

-         Focussing on the quality of life and living for all members of the public.

-         Promoting all aspects of self help towards improved bodily and mental health.

 

Community Care

 

-         Raising awareness of support networks available to those with specific needs.

-         Facilitating the provision of physical companionship and support to  those who need and would like to have it.

 

THE GROUP SETS OUT TO BE THE PATIENTS’ VOICE.
