John O’Hare is to arrange that the advert is put into the October and November editions of the Village Magazine.

Arrangements for tea and coffee are to be confirmed at the next meeting. Posters for the event will be distributed around the local villagers.

Any other business:_

Friends and family:-

Karen has spoken with the Project Manager and it was agreed that a Survey Monkey on the website would meet the criteria at present. Members of the P.P.G. were asked to ask patients at the Flu Clinic for permission to text them about the survey. There was an in depth discussion into the second question.

Rushcliffe Survey:-

John O’Hare answered this on line survey and was subsequently asked if he would go on a subcommittee. He attended the subcommittee meeting and the main problems appear to be the difficulty in making G.P. appointments.

New G.P Projects:-

Karen brought to the attention of the committee new proposed projects that will be in place by 2015 that will affect G.P’s.

A G.P to GP will be able to access a small snapshot view of patients medical notesto help them when treating patients not known to them ie- out of hours.

Patients to have on line access to a snap shot view of their own medical records.
