The Grove Patient Participation Group
HAVE YOUR SAY
The Grove Patient Participation Group is your voice in the practice.
Bute House and Newland Surgery Patient Participation Groups were amalgamated after our merger. They meet regularly to share with the Practice Management Team information on a wide range of issues.

Latest Bulletin from Dorset CCG
Please see the document below for the latest bulletin from Dorset CCG which includes information regarding the Covid-19 Coronavirus and a link to the State of Caring Survey 2020.
Carer support
For many Carers they are the forgotten part of the primary care service in our community. We wish to ensure they are never forgotten and we want to hear from carers about their challenges and offer advice on the range of services available to them through the Practice.
Dementia
The ever-growing elderly population across the UK brings with it many clinical challenges. Dementia is one illness we cannot ignore. The Grove Medical Centre team has completed extensive Dementia Awareness training. In addition your PPG is an active member of the Sherborne Dementia Alliance. The role of the Alliance is to ensure the public, and patient awareness of the symptoms and treatment services available within our community.
Healthy walks around Sherborne
A new activity from 2018 will be Healthy Walks. Based from the surgery a small group of patients, led by qualified guides, will take short walks, about an hour, around the town as part of the ongoing commitment by The Grove Medical Centre to improve the health and lifestyle of its patients.
Online services
Since its introduction almost 2000 patients regularly use the online service to make appointments and re-order prescriptions. To register for this service please phone the surgery.
