1. Introduction
During April 2011, the practice put plans in place to set up a patient group. The intention was that the patients would work with the practice to offer a patient perspective on the services that we provide.
The patient group would also help to improve communication, to encourage patients to take more responsibility for their health and to provide practical support and help to implement change.
After a shaky start the group gathered momentum following an open day that was held in October 2011. This was an eye opening experience for all group members. It gave a new perspective on the staff team and information on diverse services on offer. This brought momentum to the group in the first year, as they realised that they could actually make a difference by being a link between patients’ staff and community.
The group has now entered its fourth year of existence and has continued to strengthen and play an active part in the development of the practice.
The group members have shown wonderful support to the staff and patients, focusing on improvements and supporting developments that have benefited all patients across all 3 surgery sites.
This report details these improvements and demonstrates a commitment from all involved, that has developed a group that the practice is proud to call, The Grange, Greenview and Kinsley Medical Centres, Patient Reference Group.
2. Promotion of the Group
With the help and support of NHS Wakefield District Primary Care Trust back in 2011, posters and flyers were designed promoting the existence of the group and encouraging patients to join.
We continue to display these posters and flyers and welcome any new members who wish to join the group.
We have continued with our dedicated notice boards that are set up in all waiting areas of the 3 surgery sites, which not only advertises the group but also displays posters that notifies of the day, time and venue of the next meeting.
Please see appendix 1 (DOC, 837KB), 2 (DOC, 837KB) and 3 (DOC, 80KB) for an example of the posters and flyers designed.
We continue to update our information folders, which includes copies of the minutes of the meetings held to date along with information on how to join the group and dates of future meetings. A folder can be found in each of the waiting areas.
We also periodically brief all staff as to the promotion of the group and continue to ask them to consider any patients that they feel would wish to join the group.
3. Current Patient Members
By the end of March 2014 we have seen our numbers increase from 13 to 19 members. This number has remained the same as of March 2015. Of these, 8 members attend meetings on a regular basis with 11 virtual members forming part of the group.
The profile of the group compared with our overall practice profile can be found below.

As of March 2015 we still have no members in the 25 to 34 age range or any under 16.
The feeling in the group is that efforts should be made to attempt to attract further members of this age range, in order to be representative of this area of the practice population.
We do feel however, that we have good representation for patients with conditions as shown above, including learning difficulties, deafness and hard of hearing and severe visual impairment.
Promotion of the group is constantly active with the whole practice population being targeted to join should they wish to do so.
This includes detailed information on the practice website, posters on each of the patient information screens, information folders and display boards in waiting areas of the 3 surgery sites and by word of mouth from both practice staff and existing group members.
Coffee mornings held in the last two years have seen wider advertising of the group in the local newspaper and by displaying posters with local organisations and community centres.
4. Methods of Engagement with Members
There are several ways we engage with our members. This is face to face at meetings and planned coffee mornings, by email and post for the distribution of minutes of meetings and via our website where we include all minutes and the annual group report and action plans.
We have attempted to engage with seldom heard groups through promotion of the group on our friends and family test survey, on our website, by sending out invites to our coffee morning events and by displaying information in each of our 3 surgery sites.
Our Public Health Nurse has made good links with other organisations including the alzeimhers society and arranged a talk about dementia at the Hemsworth library on the 27 November 2014 for both patients and carers.
5. Patient Group Meetings
To date we have held 12 meetings including the open day between the dates of May 2011 and February 2012, 9 meetings between March 2012 and March 2013, 9 meetings between April 2013 and March 2014 and a further 10 meetings between April 2014 and March 2015.
For the purposes of the 2014/15 group report and action plan we have included the minutes of the meetings held between April 2014 and March 2015 at appendix 4
Copies of notes of meetings are sent by post to the virtual members with a note attached, requesting any comments on the notes and/or any pieces of work that the group are carrying out.
6. Terms of Reference
At a meeting held on Tuesday 1 November 2011, a copy of a draft recommended terms of reference was distributed to members for perusal.
At the meeting held on Tuesday 10 January 2012, a draft proposed terms of reference devised by one of the members, Pam Walker, was distributed for comments.
These draft terms of reference were approved and adopted at the meeting held on the 13 March 2012 and can be found at appendix 5 (DOCX, 16KB).
7. Work Carried Out by the Group to Date
From the early stages it was clear that individual members were happy to share their knowledge and understanding of their own particular health needs to enhance patient experience. This has continued throughout the last year and has proven invaluable to help gain the patient’s perspective on services that we provide.
Following the success of the open day and the teddies for charity collection during the first year, the LINk visit, our healthy walk and the opening event of the Dr A K Sen Endoscopy Suite in the second year, the involvement of the group with the practice CQC inspection and our first coffee morning fund raising event in the third year, the group has successfully continued with further ideas for involvement and promotion of the group.
At the meeting held on the 13 May 2014, it was suggested that a book table be introduced at each surgery site. This is where patients and staff donate books and also loan/keep books themselves. It was agreed that donations would be requested to the chosen charity, The Prince of Wales Hospice, and appropriate signs designed and displayed promoting both the book table, and donations of books.
The tables have proven extremely popular with both patients and staff of the practice and have also raised significant funds for the hospice as noted later in this report.
Following the success of the previous year’s coffee morning it was suggested at the meeting held on the 15 April 2014 that we would like to host a similar event.
We were conscious though that there was a need to advertise the event to a much wider audience since whilst the first event proved successful in terms of other agencies wishing to be involved and did infact gain us 4 new members, the number of attendees was quite low and therefore we wished to increase this if possible.
As with the previous event, various ideas were brought to the table and lots of enthusiasm and at the meeting held on the 13 May 2014 it was agreed to hold the event on the 1 July 2014.
Further meetings were held and plans were underway to arrange a drop-in type of event.
Contact was made with the following agencies who all agreed to attend the event with display boards and information leaflets as appropriate.
These were Age UK, Westfield Food Bank, Health and Wellbeing Board members, the Job Centre, Yorkshire Air Ambulance and the Expert Patient Programme.
We also repeated our well received, automated de-fib presentation from one of our Nurse Practitioner’s, Michelle Simon.
Posters were designed and displayed throughout the 3 surgery sites and other community buildings as well as on the practice website. A poster advertising the event can be found at appendix 6 (DOC, 66KB). The coffee morning was also advertised in the local newspaper.
The members made plans to serve tea and coffee and to also hold a tombola whereby funds could be raised for both The Prince of Wales Hospice and the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. Two PRG member also very kindly baked and iced cakes which were raffled to raise funds for the two chosen charities with other members donating tea, coffee and milk and others donating home baked cakes.
It was agreed that the event be held at Hemsworth Community Centre. Upon hearing of our fundraising efforts and the fact that this was a community event, the centre very kindly allowed the group to use the facilities free of charge of which we were most grateful.
Photographs of the event can be found at appendix 7 (DOCX, 799KB) which includes the donated PRG Coffee Morning cakes.
Both the planning of the event and the day itself brought group members, practice staff and community groups together in a positive and enthusiastic way inspiring the group to wanting to hold further future events, however, once again the number of attendees was a little disappointing.
Despite this we feel the coffee morning was a success and whilst more attendees would have been beneficial it was felt that positive links were made with key community members that would benefit the group in the future planning of such events.
The group members were very pleased with the fundraising efforts and by continuing with the tombola following the coffee morning and the amounts raised through the book tables, the total amount raised was £389.19 which was donated equally between the Yorkshire Air Ambulance and The Prince of Wales Hospice.
Thank you letters from both charities can be found at appendix 8 (JPG, 883KB) and 9 (JPG, 883KB).
The recent patient survey has once again involved members in face to face meetings with diverse groups of people in the surgery. The verbal information gained by this contact has proved useful for the group and the patients appear to appreciate this personal engagement.
Other sources of patient feedback that were reviewed throughout the year other than the annual patient survey as noted above and explained in more detail below, is the sharing of any comments and compliments received at any of the 3 surgery sites.
Comments and compliments were reviewed at the meetings held on the 15 April 2014, 13 May 2014, 12 August 2014 and the 9 December 2014 and will continue to be shared with the group on an ongoing basis.
Details of complaints are not directly shared with the group but should a recurring theme be experienced by the practice, this will be shared with the group on a, as and when basis.
8. Local Practice Survey - How Priorities Were Set
At the meetings held on Tuesday 11 November 2014 and Tuesday 9 December 2014, see appendix 4, the 2014/15 practice survey was discussed by the members of the group.
As noted in the minutes the practice and the group were happy with the results of the previous three years surveys, the second year being a ‘follow-on’ from the first year, asking questions around issues that were raised in that first year and the improvements that have been made by the practice as included in the practice action plan and the third year survey supporting the work of the Productive General Practice programme.
The group were happy that all actions had been addressed from the first three years survey with the responses highlighting much improved satisfaction with the efforts the practice had made with addressing the issues and implementing changes as agreed within the action plan.
It was therefore suggested that we re-use the very first survey distributed by the group since it covered a whole range of areas within the practice.
The group were therefore requested to review the survey.
In view of the practice contractual requirement to allow online access for patients to make appointments it was agreed to add two further questions around this area. These are, ‘Would you like to book some appointments through our website?’ and ‘Do you think online booking would be unfair to patients who do not have internet access?’
The members accepted that the questions reflected priorities for the practice, thereby the group agreed to the use of the survey in its current format with the two additional questions added as noted above.
A copy of the questionnaire can be found at appendix 10 (XLS, 34KB).
9. Design of the Survey
As noted above, the survey in its current format as shown at appendix 10 (XLS, 34KB) was adopted as the 2014/15 annual survey with the addition of the two questions noted above.
The group was happy that the survey was concise and the questions easy to read so that people would not be put off completing the survey.
The group also favoured the section that asked for any other comments. The group felt that this was a good means of obtaining qualitative data and encouraging patients to highlight issues that were important to them.
We agreed that the survey should be paper based since we felt that we could reach a larger number of patients plus it would also be easier for staff and members to hand out to patients.
10. Distribution of the Survey
In accordance with the minimum requirement of 25 completed questionnaires per 1000 contractor registered population, it was calculated that a total of 370 completed questionnaires would be needed. In order to obtain this return, a total of 500 questionnaires were ready for distribution by early January 2015.
There was good member support with some people taking surveys to community members and other groups. Some members attended each of the 3 surgery sites to help and encourage people to complete the survey and make comments and suggestions. It was also a means of reaching unrepresented groups for example young people and parents of young children. It was also stressed that we were interested in their comments as a way to help formulate priorities for the group.
11. Results of the Survey
Of the 500 questionnaires distributed, 384 were completed, returned and summarised, meeting our target of 370.
The results can be found at appendix 11 (XLSX, 34KB).
The responses for each question have been given a percentage score which is felt easier to understand as well as the numbers having been noted.
Any comments made have also been summarised and included in appendix 11 (XLSX, 34KB).
12. Action Plan
The results of the survey were discussed at the meeting held on Tuesday 10 March 2015.
The notes of the meeting which can be found at appendix 4
are quite extensive, since they detail our observations of the results along with our agreed actions.
The group looked at the results and prioritised what most patients found to be important and if or how problems could be addressed.
A summary of the agreed areas of concern and the action plan with target dates is detailed within the notes of the meeting of the 10 March 2015 at appendix 4.
All actions were agreed through discussion by the members and the practice representatives, with the feeling that all were achievable given realistic time scales.

15. Confirmation of Practice Opening Times
The 2011/12 survey showed that the level of satisfaction with the opening hours was pleasing, in that 86% marked good and above. It was therefore not felt necessary to re-survey this particular area in the 2012/13 or the 2013/14 survey.
The 2014/15 survey showed this to be 81%, however, to include the ‘fair’ rating response would increase this to 93%.
For information however, the surgery opening times and consultation times for each of the 3 surgery sites is shown below.
