Patients Group
A patients group was formed in March 2000 to act as a forum for the exchange of information between patients and the doctors. A committee of 18 patients meets with the doctors every quarter to discuss matters of mutual concern. The group has also been active in fundraising activities on behalf of the practice. For further details please ring John Brearley on 01677 460258.
