North Uist Patient participation Group.
July 12th, 2011 by Dr WheelerThe North Uist Patient Participation group (PPG) has now had a series of initial meetings to set out its role and allocate responsibilities for different members.
The idea of the group is primarily to act as a sounding board for the community – a way for the practice and its patients to communicate on a variety of topics.
There is a different representative for each of the main North Uist areas. For simplicities sake we have divided the island by its telephone directory codes.
Your representative for each area is….
Ms Sandi Humphrey—Sollas
sandisolas@gmail.com
Mrs Chrstina Dick—Lochmaddy
christinadick@hotmail.com
Mrs Isa Mackillop—Locheport
isamackillop@aol.com
Mr Archie Campbell—Bayhead
akcampbell@cne-siar.gov.uk
Mrs Theona Morrison—Grimsay
tmorrison@nce-siar.gov.uk
Mr John Maclean—Berneray
mvshipping@hebrides.net
You can contact your local representative to bring up issues relating to the practice. This could be a request for more information on a particular topic / an idea that you would like to implement to help the health of the community / or a suggestion for changes to the way that the practice works.
Please note that the group is not an appropriate forum for complaints – these should be addressed directly to our practice manager Helen Maclean.
We plan to publish the minutes of each meeting on the website for anyone to see – the first of which can be downloaded here.
