- To encourage a positive relationship between the patients and the surgery staff, both medical and administrative
- To have a voice for the patient in the practice
- To be realistic about what you can achieve and to look for small changes that can make a real difference
- To work constructively and positively to help identify solutions and to work in partnership with the practice and other local organisations
- Carrying out research to find out what matters to patients and discussing the findings with the practice
- To encourage patients to engage in their own healthcare. To this end it would be wonderful if in the future the group felt able to:
- To organise information sessions on medical and related topics of interest to patients
- To help with the organisation of self help groups for patients
- To help raise funds for the purchase of extra equipment requested by the professional medical team
