We use feedback from patients, including from the friends and family test and other patient surveys (see under Patient Survey Ratings) to improve our service.

We share and discuss this information with our patient participation group and consider ways we can improve. See further under Practice Improvement, how this information might be used.

Local public consultations, surveys and engagement activities

A patient participation group can also influence wider consultations occurring in the local area which go beyond the practice. A collective opinion from a patient participation group can help influence local changes. You can also have your say individually.
