Patient Participation Group (PPG)
Share your experience of extended access to GP appointments
People living in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent are being asked to share their experiences of the new service offering extended access to GP appointments into the evening and at weekends.
The Staffordshire Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) want to know your stories around how you have been making use of these extra appointments to make sure they’re working as well as they can be.
Since being introduced in September 2018, patients with a GP in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent have had a greater choice of when they can see a GP, nurse or other primary care service. You can now book appointments on weekend mornings and from 6.30pm to 8pm on weekdays, in addition to the usual hours of 8am to 6.30pm Monday to Friday.
The survey will be available until 11pm on Sunday 16 June 2019.
You can access the online survey here. To request a hard copy of the survey, please call 01785 854482.
