Patient Group (PG)

Patient Group

Welcome from the Woodlands’ Patient Group Chair, Flavia Leslie

Every registered patient of the Woodlands’ Practice is entitled to belong to its Patient Group (PG). Our message is: “Patients and Practice, working in Partnership.” We exist to help improve services for patients.

The PG has been running for 16 years and has a close relationship with the Practice Partners and Management, which we highly value. The Patient Group committee meeting every 6 to 8 weeks with the Practice to discuss patient services and practice workload.

We have suspended previous activities which included patient meetings due to the pandemic.  We are currently reviewing ways to communicate better with our patients.

Do you need assistance with getting online to assist with your healthcare needs?

Increasingly, healthcare services can be accessed online. More than ever before, being able to order prescriptions on the NHS App, refer yourself for services such as physiotherapy and submit information to the surgery through our website, is very useful. It ensures that you can carry on accessing everything you need, even if self-isolating or minimising your contact with others.

At Woodlands, we understand that not everyone is comfortable with using online services and may not have used them before. For this reason, we have a very experienced group of volunteers who can assist you over the telephone with using healthcare apps and websites.

If you would like us to arrange assistance from a volunteer, please call reception and speak to one of our team. We will do the rest!
