The Friarsgate Practice Patient Participation Group
The Patient Participation Group was set up to consult and plan with patients on the facilities and provision of services of the practice and to give practice staff and patients the opportunity to discuss topics of mutual interest.
The group meets three times a year and comprises of patients and members of The Friarsgate Practice team with usually one or more GPs in attendance. The meetings are an opportunity for patients to have their say and make suggestions about the practice and patient healthcare.
Please contact Lesley Bell at The Friarsgate Practice if you would like to join our Patient Participation Group – we are always pleased to welcome new members.’
LINk in to Hampshire Local Involvement Network
What is Hampshire LINk?
The Hampshire Local Involvement Network (LINk) is an umbrella organisation that brings together existing networks, organisations and individuals in Hampshire interested in Health and Social Care Services.
Hampshire LINk is independent of the Council and Health Services. Its aim is to provide a stronger voice for local people in the planning, design, commissioning and delivery of Health and Social Care Services.
Evolvement
One of the ways the NHS has listened to patients has been through Patients' Forums. Attached to local Trusts, Forums have helped to improve frontline health care, but changes in the way the NHS is structured and the increasing integration of health and social care mean that new ways of involving people are needed. July 2006, the Department of Health published plans to strengthen the ability for local communities to influence the care they get through Local Involvement Networks [LINks]
With the Hampshire LINk you can:
- Get services to think about the things that really matter to you
- Have a way of talking to the people who plan and run health and social care services
- Help local people to be heard
- Help improve services
