The patient group usually meets 1 to 2 times a year, either in-person at the surgery or online. The aims of the group are:
- To share opinions constructively and represent patient ideas
- To improve healthcare servies
- To improve communication between surgery, patients, and the wider community about the surgery and health matters
- To help in developing new services and ways of working
- To promote self help and support amongst patients for better health and social care
