PATIENT PARTICIPATION GROUP - VOLUNTEERS WANTED
The practice is planning to set up a Patient Participation Group.
If you have views on how the practice works and would like to play a part in helping us improve services then let us know. You will need to commit to taking part in regular meetings and possibly helping us gather views and implement changes within the practice.
We are looking for a maximum of 10 people to be part of this new initiative. If we have more volunteers than places available we will endeavour to select a representative group from those who put their names forward.
If you have the time and enthusiasm then please give your details to reception no later than 29th April 2011.
Thank you for supporting your practice.

ARE YOU A CARER WHO PROVIDES CARE FOR SOMEONE
If you provide care for someone then it is important that your doctor knows about this as it may be relevant at some stage to the support and care that the Practice provides to you.
Please tell your doctor when you next see him if you are a carer so that he/she may record the fact in your records.
If you require further information about the support that may be available to you as a Carer from a wide range of organisations please either look at the following web site:
