WE NEED YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
For some time we have struggled to set up a Patient Group, representative of all patient age groups and needs within the surgery. Ideally, we would like to set up a group across all age ranges, with other groups represented, such as carers, mums & dads and older people.
This has proved very difficult, in fact, almost impossible. We have run a small group for the past couple of years, but it has not really achieved very much and was not representative of the patients at the surgery.
We have decided to try once again, and we now hope to set up 2 separate groups; a Young People's Patient Group and another more general Patient Group.
If you would be interested in taking part in a Patient Group, either for young people, or more generally, please drop your details off at reception and Helen McAteer will contact you. Your commitment would only be about 1 hour, two to three times a year.
If anyone out there feels that they have a particular skill or leadership qualities in this area we would particularly like to hear from you.
Thank you
Helen McAteer, Executive Manager
