The Patient Participation Group of the Twyford Practice

Twyford Practice serves the communities of Twyford, Morestead, Owslebury, Colden Common, Brambridge, Compton, Shawford and Otterbourne.  The Patient Participation Group aims are:-

To improve communication between the patients and the Practice and to feed back to the Practice patients' concerns and expectations.

To provide a forum for discussion on the provision of local health care, and for promoting health education issues.

To act as a community pressure group using its influence to bring local needs to the attention of local health authorities.

The committee welcome communication on any of the above issues from the patients, but are unable to mediate on any personal issues.

If you wish to contact the PPG you may do so by emailing them at twyfordppg@gmail.com.

=======================================================================

‘Friends and family test’ – Patients are encouraged to respond either using the forms located in the surgery, or to take the FRIENDS AND FAMILY TEST online. (You can find this in the links down the right hand side of this site.)

Electronic repeat prescriptions ordering and appointment system

The new EMIS on-line system allows Patients to order repeat prescriptions, book GP

appointments and view a summary of their medical records. This is part of a government plan to enable patients to gain access to more in depth information about their medical history and over time more details of patients medical records will be released for patients to view.

Patients will need to register via Patient Access before they can access this system. Any concerns please contact the surgery.

Dear Patient,

We would like to know how we can improve our service to you and how you perceive our surgery and staff. 

To help us with this, we are setting up a virtual patient representation group so that you can have your say. We will ask the members of this representative group some questions from time to time, such as what you think about our opening times or the quality of the care or service you received. We will contact you via email and keep our surveys succinct so it shouldn’t take too much of your time.

We aim to gather around a hundred patients from as broad a spectrum as possible to get a truly representative sample. We need young people, workers, retirees, people with long term conditions and people from non-British ethnic groups.

If you are happy for us to contact you occasionally by email please click the link below to open the sign-up form and complete all the fields.

Complete the Patient Group Sign-up Form Online

If you prefer, you can download the sign up form as a pdf document, print it out, complete it and return it to the practice.

Download the pdf version of our sign up form

We will be in touch shortly after we receive your form. Please note that no medical information or questions will be responded to.

Many thanks for your assistance

The information you supply us will be used lawfully, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. The Data Protection Act 1998 gives you the right to know what information is held about you and sets out rules to make sure that this information is handled properly.
