We would like to know how we can improve our service to you and how you perceive our surgery and staff. 

To help us with this, we are setting up a virtual patient participation group so that you can have your say. We will ask the members of this representative group some questions from time to time, such as what you think about our opening times or the quality of the care or service you received. We will contact you via email and keep our surveys succinct so it shouldn’t take too much of your time.

We aim to gather around a hundred patients from as broad a spectrum as possible to get a truly representative sample. We need young people, workers, retirees, people with long term conditions and people from non-British ethnic groups.

If you are happy for us to contact you occasionally by email please click the link opposite to open the sign-up form and complete all the fields.

BROWN CLEE PATIENT PARTICIPATION GROUP

Our mission is to work with patients for the benefit of the Practice, and with the Practice for the benefit of patients

The Brown Clee Patient Participation Group (PPG) welcomes any patient over the age of 18.

We hold at least 4 meetings a year and are updated by a GP Partner on developments. We also have the opportunity to ask questions and invite presentations from speakers on topics of interest. The meetings aim to last one hour only.

To become a member of the PPG all you need to do is to provide an email address. You will receive notifications of meetings, and any other relevant information.

2024 is going to see the PPG move from an informal organisation to a properly constituted Committee-led one. An interim Committee is in place until the first AGM which will be held in October 2024. We are very excited about this development as it will provide longevity to the organisation as well as drawing in more skills and talents to contribute to the work.

We really need YOU to get involved …….. and here’s how you can:

Join the PPG email list which is over 500 strong already – send an email to browncleeppg@gmail.com OR Telephone 07790 230038

Join the Facebook page (over 650 members already) – just apply on the page stating that you are a patient of the Practice.

Come to a PPG meeting (if you want to) – all on Tuesdays and we have to limit places to 100 so it is necessary to book your place. If you don’t want to come or are unable to get a place, you will receive the agenda and minutes to keep you up to date.

Think about if you would like to declare yourself as a candidate for election to the PPG Committee (more information available from the Chair).

MEETING DATES FOR 2024 20th February, 21st May, 23rd July and 29th October, 7pm start (Doors open at 6.30pm)

All good wishes for a happy and healthy 2024.

Tina Ranson

Chair of Brown Clee PPG.
