PATIENT PARTICIPATION GROUP
Bradford Road Medical Centre has a Patient Participation Group which meets every three months.
The aims of our Group are as follows: -
-
To establish and maintain communication between Doctors and Patients, and in particular to give feedback to the Practice about Patients' principal concerns and expectations.
-
To provide an informal mechanism for receiving Patients' suggestions and constructive criticism about the Practice and its organisation.
-
To offer a forum for the discussion of Health Education topics of interest to Patients with special reference to the promotion of health and the prevention of disease.
-
To encourage the development of voluntary community care, especially for the housebound and elderly, and the setting up of self-help groups for Patients with particular needs.
-
To act as a Community pressure group on health-related matters, and to bring local needs to the attention of Primary Care Trust, Health and Local Authorities.
-
To undertake fund-raising activities in order to provide extra facilities for the practice and its Patients.
