A Patient Participation Group (PPG) is a group of volunteer patients, carers and GP practice staff who share feedback to support the running of their GP practice. PPGs look at the services the practices offers, patient experience and how improvements can be made for the benefit of patients and the practice.  The current format of the PPG group is virtual through email.  Although this group has been inactive over the covid period, there are plans to create a Network Group, with our Network Partners: James Fisher Medical Centre, St Albans Medical Centre and Gervis Road/Panton Practice.

You may be interested in joining our PPG, please click on the link below to sign up.

Of note, there is a really interesting article from Healthwatch about the "review culture" and how very few people leave reviews for healthcare.  Only a small number of reviews and ratings are left and may not reflect the service provided.  We would love you to leave a review on NHS website about us.  Please click on the link below to read this article.

Moordown Medical Centre is a part of the Central Bournemouth Primary Care Network (PCN), a network of four GP surgeries within the local area. The other surgeries are James Fisher Medical Centre, St Albans Medical Centre and The Panton Practice.

The PCN allows us to cooperate with others in the network and with local community groups to provide extra and enhanced services to our patients, including peer support and social groups at East Way Clinic. You can see what's going on here.

The PCN also has a Facebook page so you can keep up with the latest news and updates from across the network, including new groups starting up and health information from the NHS.

We are pleased to welcome Dr Faisal Qureshi to our team.   He is going to be a permanent member of the clinical team. 

We also welcome Alisha, Julie and Sarah to the Reception Team to support the clinical team.
