Updates from Practice

Presented during the Open Evening session.

 

Any Other Business

The results of the CQC reports were discussed, we explored ways to give our feedback, as we believe our practice is outstanding.

The CQC reports no longer seek the opinion of the PPG which we hope to rectify.

To be an item for the May agenda.

We need to plan what key items we can major on for our support of the practice, we need to approach Claire for ideas

Following up points from this evening’s presentations.

We can publicise concerns over DNA’s in the Newsletters and on the Website.
