Workshop on improving local GP services

Take part and join in the discussion

Hounslow CCG is holding a series of short workshops on Wednesday 11 March to discuss with local residents ways to improve GP services in the borough.

The event will include an introduction speech by Hounslow CCG’s managing director Sue Jeffers and will feature three workshops on the following topics:

- GP access (including seven day working and new consultation channels, such as email or Skype)

- GP appointments (including urgent care and other support services)

- How to best coordinate long-term and complex care

These workshops will be held on Wednesday 11 March 2015, at 9.30am – 2pm, at the Days Hotel, 8-10 Lampton Road, Hounslow, TW3 1JL.

The workshops are being held as part of the Prime Minister’s Challenge Fund (PMCF) which is a scheme encouraging CCGs around the country to bid for funding to improve primary care in their area with bold new plans.

Hounslow CCG has already done much to make it as convenient as possible for residents to see a GP, including the provision of seven day services, which patients can access by calling 111.
