Patient Participation Group

We have an active and dedicated Patient Participation Group (PPG) known as The Acorn Patient Team.  They are all registered patients who help us to improve our communication with patients and to meet the needs of different patient groups. We want to build on the good work and excellent services we already offer to develop the Practice.  The members act as our ’critical friend’ and from time to time (before the Pandemic of course) organised fund-raising and education events.

1-hour meetings are held on the last Monday of each month at 12 noon online on the Zoom platform. In person meetings will resume once the Coronavirus is safely under control.

Patient Reference Group

In 2011 we established a different type of patient group – a Patient Reference Group (PRG) which operates slightly differently to our PPG.  The PRG is a virtual group with whom we communicate via email. Patients identify topics linked to the surgery that they wish to be consulted on or informed about.  If you are interested in being part of our Patient Participation Group, please contact us or leave your details with Reception and we will contact you with further information.

If you are happy for us to contact you occasionally by email please complete the form below.

If you prefer, you can download the sign up form as a pdf document, print it out, complete it and return it to the practice.

We will be in touch shortly after we receive your form. Please note that no medical information or questions will be responded to.
