PATIENT REPRESENTATIVE GROUP

The surgery currently runs a regular Patient Representative Group to listen to and address patients' suggestions on the running of the practice. We would like to invite patients to be part of this group, either by attending quarterly meetings, or by joining a the St Fillan's virtual group and corresponding by email.  Anyone interested, please contact the practice manager. The minutes from the latest meeting are available by clicking on the 'Patient Group' icon on the right of the website.

Patients who are new to the surgery are asked if they would like to be involved in the Group.  We also have posters in the main reception area and each time we publish a Practice Newsletter, quarterly, we ask for volunteers.  We struggle with the 20-30 age group and have started to ask parents who attend the Child Health Clinics if they are interested in joining the Group.

PHARMACY INFORMATION

There is a pharmacy now on-site and is independant from the surgery. The pharmacy is open until 10pm every night. The creation of an on-site pharmacy was a patient petition led initiative and has been a long term ambition for the practice since the move to St Fillans was planned over 10 years ago.

The practice has no financial interest in the success of this venture, merely accepting ground rent in accordance with the district valuer's estimation. St Fillans Medical Centre does not direct any patients to any individual pharmacy. The patient’s choice of their pharmacist is their own.
