Welcome to Preston Grove Medical Centre
INTRODUCING OUR NEW PATIENT GROUP
Patient Groups are a great way for patients and GP surgeries to work together to improve services and to promote health. We are really pleased to be able to introduce your very own patient group.
The ten members of the Patient Participation group joined in response to a poster campaign at the surgery and the first meeting took place on 26th July. Discussions at the three meetings so far have included the Aims of the Group, the Appointment System at the surgery, and the Patient Survey.
We look forward to hearing patients’ views and ideas and to working together for the benefit of the Practice and patients. We would welcome new members from all ages, backgrounds and experience, who could help us to continue moving the group forward. We can be contacted via the surgery on 01935 474353, please leave a message with the practice manager or on email preston.grove @prestongrovemc.nhs.uk
We are trying to reach as many representative patients as possible and appreciate not everyone is able to give their time to our patient group. We are therefore setting up a 'virtual patient group' so that as many patients as possible are able to share their views on a more regular basis online. For further information and to find out how to join please see the further information screen to the right of this page. Just click on 'sign up for our patient group' to find out how.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Appointments Online
This is a new trial service and we only have a limited number of appointments available online.
These will be Saturday Mornings only at present.
Appointments Online offers simple instructions to make sure that it is easy for you to book or view appointments online regardless of the time of day (or night).
To use this service you will need to register for Appointments Online at Preston Grove Medical Centre in Reception. You will be given a unique user name and password and more information on how to start using Appointments Online.
When you have your registration details just click on REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT below to view available appointments.
We will still encourage you to try and keep your usual Doctor whom you will see for most of your regular needs. By having this personal doctor you will get to know him/her better and vice versa. But for more acute problems then you can see any doctor or nurse practitioner who is available. You will therefore be offered a choice of up to ten doctors, a nurse practitioner or a specialist nurse.
Preston Grove Medical Centre is a practice with 13,000 patients. Through this new website we hope to improve our services to all our patients and enable you to find the information you require at the click of a mouse.
