We have a patient participation group which meets regularly to discuss issues affecting patients and the practice. We try to make the group membership as representative as possible of our registered patients. We currently have 7 members (male and female) with an age range of 40 and over.
In order for our group to include a wider range of patient views we also have an e-forum where patients can contribute via e-mail.
Coalfields Forum
Patients from local practices come together on a regular basis to discuss matters which affect patients in our area. This group is known as the Coalfields Patient Forum and includes patients from Houghton Medical Group, Hetton Group Practice, Kepier Medical Practice, Westbourne Medical Group, Grangewood Surgery and Herrington Burn Practice.
