A typical Patient Representative Group (PRG) brings together patients, clinicians and other staff members from a GP practice. They will meet regularly to discuss issues relating to their practice and the services provided to patients.
Patient Representative Group are good for patients because:
- They encourage patients to be more responsible for their own health
- Patients know more about their GP practice and its staff members
- Patients can get to know each other better
- Communication between patients and practice staff improves
- Patients have a chance to make suggestions and ask questions
Patient Representative Groups are good for practice staff members because:
- Clinicians and their staff can work with patients to plan services which best meet the needs of the people who use those services
- Patients can help the practice to achieve its vision and mission objectives
- Clinicians and staff have an opportunity to share their ideas with patients.
- They get closer to their community and there is greater mutual understanding.
Our PRG meetings will be held once every 3 months at the surgery. Members of the group will include patients, a clinician or clinicians, and staff representatives. We will hold an Annual General Meeting (AGM) once a year and all patients will be invited to attend. At the AGM, the Group will present what has been achieved over the previous 12 months.
