Patient Participation Group Meeting regarding Patient Survey Summary Report
The Doctors and all staff at Haden Vale Medical Practice Strive to offer the best service possible, in order to help us attain high standards of patient care and support. To help us obtain your views and experiences, we ask patients to complete a questionnaire. These are undertaken on an annual basis.
The survey carried out in 2014 was a General Practice Assessment Questionnaire, the analysis and report was carried out independently by CMI Publishing Ltd.
The questionnaire covered three main areas:
1. Your GP covering your experience of you or your dependant’s consultation.
2. The Nurse covering your treatment and consultation.
3. The practice looking at reception staff, appointments and your overall experience.
Demographics of the Patient Participation Group
The group currently consists of seven patients and two staff from the practice. Two of which are men. Age ranges are from 44 – 82 years. The group is predominantly White British, which reflects the local community.
We are currently looking to expand the group and hopefully encourage individuals from different ethnic back grounds that use the practice.
We are advertising in our Dove news letter, and have a poster displayed in reception.
If you are interested, please give your details to reception and we will endevour to contact you. We meet four times a year, at the surgery, for approximatley 1-2 hours.
