1. Introduction It was agreed at a recent PPGC meeting that we would undertake a localised questionnaire created by the committee and in partnership with the practice. During the PPG Awareness week (19 th June 2017) volunteers from the PPGC undertook a rota system whereby each day a volunteer would come into the practice and hand out questionnaires to patients and their families during a 2 shift period. The first shift commenced from 8 am – 12 pm and the second shift was carried out from 2 pm – 6 pm. The total number of questionnaires collected were 427 which is an average of 85 per day and the overall response was very positive. The next few slides will provide an analysis of these responses.
