Practice Survey Questionnaire

Throughout March and April 2012 the practice is conducting a survey of patient opinion relating to the service we provide. The questionnaire has been devised by members of the Patient Participation Group (PPG) and staff. In May we plan to discuss the findings with patients and staff at our monthly PPG meeting and plan how to fine tune our services over the next year.

Copies of the questionnaire are available at reception in the surgery and to download from the website. They will also be emailed out to those on our newsletter mailing list. Please drop your completed questionnaires in to the reception, or post in to our practice manager.

Results of the survey and a plan of action following the May PPG meeting will be available on this website.

You will see at the bottom of this page a survey button to click on to take the survey.


Carers

Looking after someone who is ill or disabled can be a lonely and sometimes frustrating business. It can also be extremely rewarding for both the carer and the person being cared for.

When you register with the practice you complete a registration form which asks the following questions:

  • Are you a carer?
  • Do you have a carer?

You do not have to fill this section in if you do not wish to, but if you do we will record this information on your record and in our carers register. If you are caring for someone but you don't wish it to be formally documented on our carers register please just let your GP or the nurse know whenever you attend for an appointment. He or she can record it in the consultation but it will not be picked up through our register and statistics.

We do this to highlight to people involved in your care that you may have particular difficulties or complications because of caring for someone whether that be around getting to the surgery for appointments, or needing help to obtain benefits, aids, adaptations or just some practical help with any of the issues surrounding caring for someone.

Our computer system can then keep a register of carers and on occasion we may be able to notify you of local events,conferences or services specifically for carers. You will also be offered an annual health check.

The Carers Direct link on the right has a wealth of information that you may find helpful.

If you would like further information about local support for carers please contact Eden Carers, The Office, Mardale Road, Penrith, Cumbria CA11 9EH  Telephone 01768 890280
