Patient Participation Group

We have a very active patient group at Miriam & Earlston & Seabank practices. Involving patients in the design of services is an integral part of the ethos of the practice. The group is currently co-chaired and usually meets twice every year. As we go forward, we look forward to developing a similar group at Field Road Health Centre and will be promoting the development of this initiative over the coming months. If you feel you can help us by becoming a member please give your details to the reception.

Virtual group
In addition to the above group, all patients who have provided their email address are informed of developments within the practice through a virtual group. Feedback is welcome on how to change services provided.

If you wish to join the Virtual Group again please provide Reception with your email address.
