Aims

• The group will provide a communication channel between the
  patients and the practice.

  suggestions from patients for improvements to the service and
  highlight any areas that need attention.
• The group will assist the practice in monitoring quality through
  patient participation.

  policies in the practice by representing patient views. This will
  ensure patients make the best use of the facilities available.
• Surveys: The group will conduct surveys with patients to inform the
  action plan.

  down to local community groups.

  practice newsletter (if practice has one).
