Friends of Medwyn

Friends of MedwynThe staff of Medwyn Surgery have a very clear objective.They want to provide their patients with the best possible service, not only in medical care, but also in terms of health information and awareness, the environment of the surgery and doctor / patient relationships. As part of this initiative, we have formed a Patient Participation Group & this group is called "Friends of Medwyn".

The functions of the Friends of Medwyn will be:

  • To provide a means of communication between patients & Medwyn staff. Not for individual issues (which are, of course, a matter between a patient & his or her G.P.), but for general issues, both medical & non-medical, affecting patients in general.
  • To provide information on medical issues (e.g., background medical information, sources of information such as leaflets & internet websites, new clinical developments, support groups for various medical conditions, NHS news, etc.)
  • To keep patients up to date on Medwyn surgery itself (e.g. new administrative procedures, new equipment, new staff etc.)
  • To raise money for the Medwyn surgery. The money we raise will go towards providing equipment & facilities to Medwyn, for the benefit of patients & for the surgery as a whole. We would be grateful for any donations and, if you would like to make a donation, please send or take a cheque to the surgery & make your cheque payable to "Friends of Medwyn".

Finally, we can use all the help we can get, so if you feel you can help us in any way in the future, please let us know.
