Patient Participation

All patients are invited to join by advertising on our website, Facebook page, check in screen and notice board display in the waiting room. In addition information is contained within our practice booklet given to all new patients and it is also periodically advertised on repeat prescription forms. On-line registration is available on our website.

Areas of Priority

The priorities for the survey were discussed at a meeting on 18 November 2013. The area’s considered and agreed were opening hours, access including on-line facilities, telephone triage and online repeat prescribing.

The Survey

The survey was created by the practice and presented at the meeting on 20 January 2014 where it was agreed. The survey questions are at Annex A.

The Survey was then given by hand to all members of the meeting on 20 January 2014. The survey was also available on request from reception from the period 20- 24 January 2014 and was available to complete online and advertised on our Facebook page.

The Results

The results of the Survey can be found at Annex B. The results were discussed at the meeting on 17 February 2014 with an action plan agreed. These results were also shared with all members not present at the meeting by post and made available on our website and available from reception for patients coming into the Surgery. The raw results were also viewed by CQC on their inspection of the Practice on 3 February 2014.

Action Plan

The on-line appointment booking facility for appointments is a new alternative platform to allow round the clock access to making non-urgent appointments and potentially free up telephone lines and reduce the amount of calls made into the Practice. On line booking would be particular useful for shift workers and is a method more of our patients would like to use. As a new facility this needs to be promoted and advertised to our patients.

The online repeat prescribing facility, which is very popular with the patients that use the service needs a higher profile, again this will be promoted to our patients to increase uptake.

Both these on-line services will be promoted within the Surgery via posters and handout slips, on our website and Facebook page in order to maximize the potential of these two platforms to our patients. Uptake will be reviewed in June 2014.
