Dear Patient,
The patient representative group at Newtown Health Centre has been running on an annual basis since QOF began in 2004. However it has been running on a more regular basis since March 2009. It was set up to understand the views of patients on the services that the Practice offered. The group reviews everything from access to the services, to local health needs, to the effect of the changes in the NHS on the practice. It is an open membership group that encourages involvement and attendance from all areas of the practice community. We hold a register of patient group members’ names, phone numbers and email addresses.
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 representation 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 below to open the sign-up form and complete all the fields.
If you prefer, you can download the sign up form as a pdf document, print it out, complete it and return it to the practice.
We will be in touch shortly after we receive your form. Please note that no medical information or questions will be responded to.
Many thanks for your assistance
