Patient Participation Groups have been established to support individual GP practices ensure that high quality levels of care to their patients is monitored and maintained. The Primary Care Trust arranges for the Chairs of all the groups to meet on a quarterly basis to share good practice and ideas and to give advice.
To participate in a Patient Participation Group you must be registered as a patient with that particular practice.

Consultations
Healthy Start: Understanding the use of vouchers and vitamins
The Department of Health has commissioned a national evaluation of the Healthy Start scheme.
Healthy Start is a government initiative to encourage pregnant women and families from low-income groups to eat a more nutritious diet by providing free vitamins, and vouchers which can be used for fresh milk, infant formula or fresh fruit and vegetables, and enabling health professionals to identify vulnerable women earlier in their pregnancies. The Department of Health is especially interested in how the use of vouchers and vitamins could be improved.
The Department of Health is seeking the views of health and social care practitioners from all relevant disciplines, user representatives and voluntary groups, strategic and operational managers, service commissioners and public health leads.
WE REALLY WANT TO HEAR YOUR VIEWS AND EXPERIENCES
This is an opportunity to contribute to the evaluation and shape improvements to the scheme, and highlight which parts of the Healthy Start scheme are working well and which are not working well. The Department of Health is particularly interested in what you think the barriers to implementing the scheme are and any examples of good practice or suggestions for improving the scheme.
The Department of Health is keen to hear from as wide a range of people as possible, whether health or social care practitioners, managers, user representatives or advocacy groups.
To complete the online questionnaire please follow the link below:

Please complete the questionnaire by 26th August 2011

Patient Experience Group
The Patient and Carer Experience Group will act as a champion for patient and carer influence in local health services by:
· Developing a PCT framework for patient and carer experience (see attached);
· Establishing an annual action plan for PCT patient and carer experience activity and monitor progress against the plan;
· Monitoring and reviewing patient and carer experience activities across the PCT and wider NHS in Central and Eastern Cheshire PCT;
· Monitoring the use of patient and carer experience feedback in the improvement and development of services (e.g. contract monitoring);
· Ensure the PCT is compliant with legislation, adopts good practice and implements national policy on patient and carer experience;
· Identify areas of action in response to concerns and issues raised by patients or through performance monitoring, and in response to report findings;
· Production of an annual assessment of Patient and Carer Experience for the PCT Board; and
The Group will ensure it is open and transparent in the way that it conducts its work. All minutes of the Group will be published on the PCT’s website for example.
