Application forms to join the PRG are available in practice and via the website. At registration, patients are invited to join the PRG and asked for consent to contact them via i.e. join them to the PRG. We also regularly make attempts to encourage some more active participation in face to face meetings etc, but have not been successful. Despite our best efforts we can find no patients who wish to meet face to face or to lead a group. 2

3 Are there any specific characteristics of your practice population which means that other groups should be included in the PPG? e.g. a large student population, significant number of jobseekers, large numbers of nursing homes, or a LGBT community? No If you have answered yes, please outline measures taken to include those specific groups and whether those measures were successful: 2. Review of patient feedback Outline the sources of feedback that were reviewed during the year: We reviewed comments, suggestions and complaints from patients and have acted on these wherever possible. Some complaints have been the subject of significant event reviews, the results of which have been communicated to the relevant parties. We have also taken note of the comments and feedback from the Friends and Family Test. How frequently were these reviewed with the PPG? By as subjects come up 3

4 Action plan priority areas and implementation Priority area 1 Description of priority area: Poor customer service highlighted comments on attitude at reception and on the telephone What actions were taken to address the priority? Education sessions with staff; reduced turnover of staff leading to greater stability; changes in staff Result of actions and impact on patients and carers (including how publicised): The practice has focused on improvement in service and attitude. This is evidenced through fewer comments and complaints from patients. 4

5 Priority area 2 Description of priority area: Lack of clarity of services available, how clinics are run, numbers of appointments and availability, surgeries running late What actions were taken to address the priority? Improvements were carried out to the website and patient information leaflets. Numbers of appointments and availability was reviewed and these are now under constant review. Partners reviewed the waiting times for patients and are attempting to improve these. Result of actions and impact on patients and carers (including how publicised): Patients are now more easily able to obtain same day appointments when necessary and/or speak to a GP. Waiting times have improved by observation and anecdotally by patients. 5

6 Priority area 3 Description of priority area: Lack of facilities in the waiting room, such as toys, magazines etc.. What actions were taken to address the priority? Selection of toys replaced and magazine selection improved. Introduced information books for patients to read whilst waiting. These contain posters and leaflets with various messages, that are too numerous to put on the notice boards. Result of actions and impact on patients and carers (including how publicised): Changes welcomed by patients (mostly verbally however, despite encouragement to record on FFT!) Progress on previous years If you have participated in this scheme for more than one year, outline progress made on issues raised in the previous year(s): 6
