South Park and the Heath Surgeries

Patient Participation Group

Annual Report

March 2012

Introduction
As part of a government led initiative to encourage better dialogue between GP practices and patients, South Park and the Heath Surgeries formed a Patient Participation Group. The group is intended to be run as virtual group and a group which meets face to face.
This report outlines the work that has already been done to assemble the PPG and the results of the initial practice survey.
This report is intended to be read by all patients, and PPG members. We will post this report on our website and on notice boards in both surgeries.
Background and formation of the PPG
In order to get a balanced view of patient opinions and suggestions, it is important to make sure that the PPG is representative of the practice population. Initially we wrote to 1800 patients, chosen randomly, inviting them to become members. We then put up posters in both surgeries inviting all of our patients to join. Application forms were left in reception for people to complete.
The profile of our PPG is as follows –
Practice population - 6532

Number of PPG Members - 130


Age Group 17-24 - 3

Age Group 25-34 - 6

Age Group 35-44 - 14

Age Group 45-54 - 16

Age Group 55-64 - 43

Age Group 65-74 - 37

Over 74 - 11
Ethnicity

White British - 102

White English - 5

Black African - 2

Other white – 7

Chinese – 1

Bangladesh – 1

Other Asian – 1

Eastern European – 2

Not Specified - 9


Registered Carers - 6
Priority Issues
Once the group was established we consulted with all of our members to obtain their views about what they thought were the priority issues within the practice. A form was given to each member to write down their top priorities.
We then put together a patient survey based upon the most common issues, and invited all PPG members and patients attending the surgery over a four week period to complete. The survey was anonymous so that we could obtain honest open views about how our patients feel about the practice.
Please see the next sheet for a copy of our patient survey.

  1. Welcome and Introductions

Practice Manager, Stuart Coffey thanked everyone for attending our first meeting and introduced himself. There was then a presentation about the role of PPG and how it should work in our practice. Stuart explained that we wrote to 2500 randomly chosen patients inviting them to join our PPG. We had a response from 130 saying that they would like to be members. It was then explained that this group is not a forum for complaints, but a constructive group working towards the same goals.





  1. Group Business




    • It was decided that the whole group would be invited to meet 3 times per year as well as email and paper correspondence.

    • The PPG agreed that they would like to form a committee and names would be taken at the end of the meeting. It was agreed that the committee can use the meeting room and facilities of the practice when required. The committee would meet on a more regular basis.

    • Elections for the committee will be held at the next meeting.

  1. Work Plan


Review of patient survey results
Stuart explained how the survey had been put together, based upon the initial feedback from the PPG. All future surveys will be based upon ideas and suggestions from PPG members and the practice.

We had 170 returned surveys – 70 of these were completed by PPG members and 100 by patients attending the surgery over a 4 week period.

The survey was open to patients at both surgeries.
The results were discussed at length and questions were asked by PPG members. The mains points discussed were:


  • Opening times – need to review extended hours, late evening and weekends.

  • Shortage of appointments – explained about the Doctors working day and how they can only see 15 patients each per clinic. Need to make better use of our newly qualified nurse practitioner.

  • Difficulty getting through on the phone, only 50% of people found it easy to get through. – new phone system needed.

  • Monthly prescriptions – some patients would like bi-monthly. Explained how this is not usual practice but can be allowed in exceptional circumstances.

  • Additional services – explained that these will become available if the funding changes.


Action Plan
The following action plan was agreed by the practice and PPG members.


  1. Opening hours

From the surgery and PPG feed back a number of patients were requesting additional opening hours.


Suggestion 1

The surgery will open at Bracebridge Heath surgery over the lunch period and therefore be open from 8.00 to 6.00 Monday to Friday.



Action required

This has been implemented from January 2012.



Suggestion 2

The surgery already opens on a Wednesday evening from 6.00pm to 8.00pm.



Action

This information needs to be better advertised to patients.

Message to flash on screen in waiting room.

Posters advertising evening clinics to be put up.

Opening hour’s information sheets to be put in waiting rooms for patients to take away.
Suggestion 3

Saturday morning opening.



Action

This possibility will be discussed by the practice staff.

It will be put to the patients of the surgery in the next survey so we can gain a wider view and see if there is a need.


  1. Getting through on the phone

The practice currently has an 0844 number for incoming calls. This has proved to be unpopular with patients and a number of comments have been received from members of the PPG and the survey.


Action

The practice will look to change telephone contracts to provide patients with a 01522 Lincoln number which is easy to remember and cheaper to use for mobile phones and landlines.

The practice will ensure that any change in contract will not affect the ability of patients to get through on the phone.

This change will be actioned as soon as possible.





  1. Additional Services

Patients have asked whether more services could be offered by the surgery rather that having to travel further away.

Action

The practice will look into being able to provide additional services such as Minor Surgery, and Physiotherapy etc.

Consideration would have to be made based upon the resources available to provide these services.

We do offer a family planning, contraception service.


The surgery has the capacity to offer services to providers who may wish to work from the surgery at Bracebridge Heath, and the practice will offer this facility as appropriate.

News from the practice
There wasn’t any current news from the practice to feedback to patients. It was asked if there was any more information on the closure of South Park surgery but to date we have no further information.
Any other business
The members of the PPG made some suggestions for the practice and it was agreed that we would look into and where possible try to implement these going forward.


  • Advertise opening times clearly

  • Supply name badges for the staff

  • Display the names of the medical staff in the surgery

  • Display a breakdown of missed appointment for all patients to see. Make it more visible and continue sending DNA letters

  • Put a mirror in reception so the receptionist can see what’s happening in the waiting room.

  • Regular GP contact with patients over the age of 90

  • Keep the notice boards up to date

It was agreed that the next meeting will be held shortly after Easter. Date to follow.

After consultation with our PPG we have been made aware that not all of our patients are aware of our opening hours. In January 2012 we changed our opening hours by staying open at lunchtime. Please see below for details.
