What is
Patient Link and Who are they?
Patient Link is an independent
Patient Participation Group linked to the practice, whose purpose is to help
improve communications between patients, their carers and the doctors and staff
of the practice.
We are a group of local residents (current members
listed below) with an interest in the quality and range of services offered at
the practice, and keen to support the doctors and staff in making improvements
in response to local needs.
The Group's officers for 2008 are: Chair: Amanda Parkyn Tel:
714520 Secretary: Ruth Goodison Tel: 713246
We meet regularly both as an independent group and in discussion with doctors and the practice manager. During our first year we were involved in giving practical support following the practice's move to new premises in Pinfold Lane. We also helped to develop a patient information leaflet which will be issued to all new patients. In the coming year, we plan to focus on gaining the views of a wider range of patients as to whether the practice meets and whether there are changes that could make an improvement.
