AGM Awards 2015 – Patient Participation Group of the year 2015.
Criteria: We’re looking for a PPG that can demonstrate an excellent working relationship with their practice, which has made a real difference to the patients. In recognition of a group’s exemplary performance and team commitment and to celebrate excellence in participation between primary care and communities, including patients, service users, carers and the public and for the many devoted hours of encouragement and help the group has given unselfishly to our organisation.
The winning group has been outstanding in striving to be inclusive and harnessing the assets of its members to reach growing numbers of people. Its chair typifies its commitment to the community, helping to develop a volunteer transport scheme for isolated patients. Our winner is Over Wyre Medical Centre PPG.
Our PPG is now on Facebook! All registered patients may apply to join the Facebook group. Just log in to your Facebook account and search for Over Wyre Patient Forum or Click Here. If you would like to help to develop patient services, please join us. You certainly don’t have to attend meetings to give feedback – use the Facebook option. It’s a closed group, so only other members will see your posts. Your views and ideas will be welcome. Let us know about your experiences of the Medical Centre, either in Preesall or in Hambleton. All constructive comments are useful. If you have suggestions for improvement, even better. We hope to see you there.
