The Steyning GP Patient Survey

Take our patient surveyListening to patients' views is essential to providing a patient-centred health service. The Health Centre needs to hear your views on the range and quality of the services provided.  We have been in our new building for three years and we would like to find out what your opinions are of the services offered.  Please would you help us by taking part in the survey. The survey can be taken at  http://www.gpsurvey.co.uk/steyning

We will keep the results anonymous and confidential. However, because we plan to run some more surveys focusing on aspects that we learn from this first survey we ask you in the survey if you would like to take part in the future to provide us with your email address.  If you would rather not provide it please leave the entry blank.

We will be posting a report on our website showing the results of the survey and a brief summary of our discussions with the patient reference group. This will be available in February/March 2012. The survey will close on 31st January 2012..

Dr Justine Woodcock, Steyning Health CentreMy Kiwi Adventure by Dr Justine Woodcock

As many of you may know I have now been to New Zealand twice on holiday and I am afraid I seem to have caught the Kiwi bug! After much thought I have decided to try and undertake a 12 month Sabbatical working in New Zealand, subject to Visa's etc.

I arn will be working out there part-time as a GP. I hope to learn a lot while I am there. In some ways General Practice in New Zealand is very different to in the UK but in others it is very much the same. The one big difference is that because of the rural setting of most practices GP's have to deal with a lot more medical and surgical emergencies. For instances patients suffering Acute Myocardial Infarctions (Heart Attacks) will be given the "clot busting drugs" by GP's before they are transferred to hospital which is generally quite some distance away.

During my abscence Dr Michelle Hall will be working as my locum. She is a lovely very experienced GP who has worked in Storrington and Cranleigh previously, and who is very keen to come to Steyning for a year. I shall miss Steyning but I hope to come back with lots of new experiences to share.
