Welcome to the 168 Medical Group Patient Participation Group (PPG for short). We meet every 8 weeks to discuss improvements with the practice, raise issues and generally work together to improve the overall service for other patients. The PPG is well established and we are always looking for new members.  

We have now launched a Virtual Group. This is the group for you if you don’t want to attend meetings but want to receive updates from the group and the surgery to keep you ‘in the loop’ but not overwhelmed with information, you’ll be able to have your say and help the surgery develop for the future.

We are optimistic that this will be an attractive option for people who can’t spare the time for the meetings and want to get involved but do so on their own terms. Joining the Virtual Group is easy – just email us and we will put you on our distribution list. 

If you have any questions just drop us a line or call 01934 628118 or 01934 624242.

However you want to engage, we are particularly looking for young people (ages 16-25) to help us by giving their views and opinions on what information and services other young people want.  In particular we are interested in any views on what information young people need from this website – do you want your own page? What would you put on it?

Comments on any issue you would like to raise as a patient to email us or ring 01934 628118 or 01934 624242.

Thanks for being a patient here at 168 Medical Group

The PPG is an Affiliated member of the National Association for Patient Participation.

Improved Access

We are working together with other local practices to offer patients access to more appointments in the early mornings, evenings and at weekends. To find out more about these services, please contact the practice.

Customer Notice

We are having a new phone installed on Friday 5th August. This should not affect your ability to contact the Surgery as the switch over should be seamless. Please bear with us if you experience any issues.

Kind regards,

168 Medical Group

Surgery Closure

Due to a national problem with our clinical system, we are unable to open the surgery for the remainder of the afternoon (Friday 26th May).

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Thank you for your patience.

askmyGP is currently offline

Unfortunately, our askmyGP service will be offline today – if you have an urgent request, you will need to call the surgery on the below number.

Due to clinician sickness we have an increased demand on our services. Therefore we are only able to offer urgent appointments. We are triaging all requests and prioritising urgent requests first. 

Please call the surgery to make an appointment on 01934 624 242.
