The team at Freshwell Health Centre are keen to increase the way that patients can make their views heard.  We have set up a Patient Reference Group (PRG) to allow discussion about what we could do to be more responsive and better understand the needs of our community.

Would you like to be a volunteer member of our PRG?

We are looking for patients from all age groups and walks of life so that the PRG reflects the local population. You do not need any clinical knowledge or local expertise to join.

What will you need to do as a PRG member? 

• Provide us with an email address so that we can contact you
• Let us have your views on how we are doing at the moment
• Pass on any ideas you have on how we could change things as a result of the survey

We will keep you updated on any changes we make as a result of this process.

We promise not to bombard you with emails!

If you are interested in getting involved please let us know at freshwell.administration@nhs.net.
