We value our patients. We know that most patients value us too, especially when they need us regularly. You know we can deal with most of your health problems, keep you out of hospital, and have your best interests at heart. The problem is with the mismanagement of the NHS.
Your GP is an expert in general medical practice – trained over 10 years to deal with complex problems, spot serious symptoms, and decide when you need specialist help at the hospital. GPs want the same things that you do. We believe nobody should struggle to see their family doctor.
But did you know that your practice receives just £107.57 per year for each patient, whatever their health needs. That’s less than the cost of an annual TV licence.
General Practice has been broken. Help us fix it.
Here at Village Surgery we have a patient participation group (PPG), which you could join to support the practice and influence the delivery of local services.
