We are always interested in what our patients have to say. We like hearing your comments and suggestions and will, where possible, act upon them.

We are influenced by our patients and the government are encouraging patients to participate in how their health services are designed at practice level. We would like to sometimes invite you to complete surveys or seek your opinion on services and ideas that the surgery is considering.

The group would like to contact patients on occasion by email and/or text so that they can obtain the views of the widest group of patients possible. We would like to obtain your email address and mobile phone number to do this. Please complete the Patient Contact Form to provide your consent for this.
