*****AGM*****

Our AGM is planned for the 24/07/2023 at 18:00 in our waiting room. All are welcome. Please come along and find out more about your Patient Participation Group (PPG). We will be having a short talk by our health and wellbeing coach.

Please see poster for more information. 

We would like to know how we can improve our service to you and how you perceive our surgery and staff.

Northam Surgery Patient Group consists of patients who use the surgery regularly.  They meet with representatives of the practice team to help the practice develop and respond to patients' needs. 

The group are happy to put forward any ideas or suggestions from patients.  If you would like to contact the patient group, please write in confidence to "Patient Group Northam Surgery" and a member of the group will respond. 

The Patient Participation Group is always looking to recruit new members. All patients are welcome to join and we hope that the group will represent the wide range of patients we serve.  We are therefore particularly keen to welcome teenagers, parents with young children, patients under the age of  45, anybody who has impaired hearing or are partially sighted or belong to a minority ethnic group as these population groups are not yet represented.

If you cannot attend meetings, you can still be involved by email by being part of our “virtual group”. 

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.
