The Grove Patient Participation Group is your voice in the practice.
They meet regularly to share with the Practice Management Team information on a wide range of issues.
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
