  12. ‘I would be grateful if the receptionists could, when there is a large queue at one counter, open up another (where available) to alleviate waiting times.’ • ‘Great Harwood Medical Group provide an excellent service in a building not fit for purpose in the 21st century. A new health centre is urgently required.’ • ‘I feel the general standard of care is very good and the attitude of all staff is always friendly and willing to help.’ • ‘My only concern is the waiting time to see a particular doctor, which is obviously my choice. Sometimes it is easier to see the one who is up to date with certain problems and therefore you don’t have to start at the very beginning. Like I said, that’s my choice and therefore not a reflection on the overall service.’ • ‘My experience has always been good, patient surveys are a good idea and I hope the overall feedback is used positively to benefit the community.’ • ‘In general I feel the centre does a good job. The only comment I would like to make is this. Previously it was possible to wait for treatment room attention which seemed to the layman to work quite well, however, since the treatment room was reorganised, it not only appears to be less cost effective, due to needing someone to take appointments and seems to run independently, but is less available at short notice.’

  13. ‘I am fairly satisfied. It could benefit from some up to date facilities eg. better waiting room facility as mentioned above, toilets, play area for children, better privacy at the reception windows.’ • ‘I have the opinion that the GPs are possibly overloaded with appointments and patients may tend to prefer one GP to others. It is appreciated that this should not be so but then that is human nature. Maybe the premises need to be developed. Are financial cuts a problem?’ • ‘The biggest asset the health centre in Great Harwood has is its friendly and accommodating reception staff. It’s really and sadly, a rarity to find such competent and customer focused receptionists in a GP surgery. They’re usually like dragons guarding the treasure and breathe fire at anyone who tries to pass, but not at Great Harwood. Well done! You want to keep hold of each any every one of them.’

  14. Questions? • We hope to answer questions about the PPG and how it will work during this session. • The next session (2 weeks) aims to focus on highlighting issues and prioritising areas for further discussion

  15. The next session • Wednesday 12th December 2012 1400 • Would you prefer other time(s)? • Spend one week thinking of your thoughts, concerns, what works? what doesn’t? • Suggestions for new services, where we can do things better, what’s our access like? • Raise your specific concerns at the next meeting and establish priorities.

  16. Jot down your thoughts for agenda items for the next meeting. • Email to sarah.lord@nhs.net • Or hand in in writing at reception • If possible no later than 5th December 2012. • All information will be completely anonymous • Opportunity for free questions in every session.

  17. Thank You  GHMG
