All new patients receive details as they register, but as the ethnic background of the practice is very low, we more than match this with the patient group. With regards to gender and age, we always strive to enrol younger members to the group, despite the lack of interest in these age groups, and the doctors encourage all patients to come forward. Female group members are more difficult in the younger ages as many are working parents. We always ask the group members to suggest dates and times of meetings to fit in with their availability, and will have members that are just virtual members if this is more convenient for them.
