Teaching and Research
As a teaching practice, medical students spend part of thier training with us from the University of Birmingham Medical School. The practice is also involved with medical research in partnership with the University of Birmingham.
We would value your co-operation with both of these, but we understand if you do not want to be involved.
Patient Participaton Group
Patient Participation Group (PPG) is made of practice staff and patients that are representative of the practice population. The main aim of the PPG is to ensure that patients are involved in decisions about the range and quality of services provided and commissioned by the practice.
Using the PPG, we aim to promote the proactive engagement of patients and to seek views from our patients through the use of practice surveys, comments or suggestions and complaints.
Leaflets
You will find a wide variety of Practice Leaflets which will inform you of all the services that we provide for our patients. For example Patients Charter Leaflet, Practice Leaflet and Comments and Complaints Leaflet, Sharing Data Information Leaflets etc.
Please ask at reception.
