PATIENT PARTICIPATION GROUP

In addition to staff working at the Practice, we have members of the Public who have formed a Patient Participation Group  affiliated to the Surgery  and who are actively involved . Meetings take place atleast twice a year between the PPG and a representative from the Surgery, usually our Practice Manager.

The PPG members are representatives for our patients who are mainly based in Markyate and the surrounding villages of Flamstead, Studham, Kensworth,Slip End, Dunstable, Gaddesden Row and Redbourn.

We are currently looking for Representatives from Flamstead, Studham and Dunstable. If you are interested and can make a positive contribution to improve health services within the community, please contact the PPG Chairperson, Mrs.Corrine Ireland on :   irelandc@btinternet.com

If you have any queries/comments about any aspect of the services that we provide at the Surgery, Please raise it with the chairperson,Corinne or fill out the form provided on the website.

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.
