Open Meeting of 14 March 2012 was very well attended and had two guest speakers:

Edith Todd of the National Association for Patient Participation (NAPP) explained what PPGs do and how they work
Dr Judy Kane gave a talk on the Web site Healthtalkonline, which is an award winning Web site that brings patients together to discuss and research health issues. Judy was until recently a partner in the Canbury Medical Centre and is on the Board of Trustees of Healthtalkonline

We are currently collating the results and your suggestions from the patient survey.

If you have any further suggestions please email us through the contact us tab at the top of this page.

Thank you

Canbury Patient Group has a committee who meet monthly but we know many patients still want to be involved and but are not able to spare the time.

To help us with this, we are setting up a virtual patient representation group so that you can still have your say. We will ask the members of this representative group some questions from time to time, such as what you think about our opening times or the quality of the care or service you received. We will contact you via email and keep our surveys succinct so it shouldn’t take too much of your time.

We aim to gather patients from as broad a spectrum as possible to get a truly representative sample. We need young people, workers, retirees, people with long term conditions and people from non-British ethnic groups.
