As part of its Personal Medical Services (PMS) contract, the practice has signed up to deliver a Patient Participation Directed Enhanced Service (DES).
Local Patient Participation Report Annual Report 2012/13
The purpose of the Patient Participation DES is to ensure that patients are involved in decisions about the range and quality of services provided and, over time, commissioned by the practice. It aims to encourage and reward practices for routinely asking for and acting on the views of their patents. This includes patients being involved in decisions that lead to changes to the services the practice provides or commissions, either directly or in its capacity as gatekeeper to other services.
A key component to delivering the DES is for the practice to produce a Local Patient Participation Report and publish it on the practice website by 31 March, 2013.
