  19. “The experience with Productive General Practice has been a good one. It has been good to establish where we were in the first place and where we want to go and the change has been fully supported. It has helped to build a picture of where we want to be in five years time. We want to make it the ‘super surgery’ that it could be through continuing to strive for better patient feedback, and maintaining the drive that we’ve established so far, because we have achieved some really brilliant work. We’re looking forward to the further change that’s about to come.”
