Patient groups’ topics and structure Dr Katie Coleman, Vice Chair 20 June 13

Objectives for the discussion Review what the patient groups like now Share the CCGs thoughts about how future groups could be run Discuss how you would like the patient groups to be run

How are the groups run at present? Four groups a year, locality and pan Islington Locality groups organised by practice managers and chaired by a GP from the locality Pan Islington groups organised by the CCG engagement officer and chaired by the lead for PPP Minutes sent to every practice in Islington, then sent to members of the practices PPG

We feel that in the future they could be Patient led This means: Chaired by patients Administered by patients The topics set by patients (with Clinical Commissioning Group and practice support).

Administrative processes You have told us: ‘I don’t always get the minutes’ ‘ I don’t always know when the meetings are’ To let us know how this is currently working please fill in the q&a survey handed out to you when you arrived.

Format You have told us: You prefer the locality meetings to the Pan Presentations are too lengthy and didactic You don’t get enough chance to talk about the things which matter to you: currently set up by practice managers and ICCG staff.

Structure and topics What do you want to talk about and ask us? Health information: keeping fit, screening programmes Access and services: are they good / bad, where have you had an experience which should not have happened, what services do you think we need How NHS systems are now working: how does the new system work, problems, confusion or any improvements.

Who hears what you say Everything you say goes to the Islington CCG governing body Directors and Clinical Leads Our partners Currently making sure the people we feedback to are at a high enough level within the organisation Hopefully, you feedback to your practice reference group.

Please discuss: Structure and topics How do you want it look: Pan or locality? Would you like to Chair? What support would you need to do this. What would the ideal format look like? How would you like to receive communications? What do you want to talk about and ask us? Health information Access and services NHS new system
