Patient group

We have an active patient participation group at our practice.

West Timperley Medical Centre’s Patient Participation Group: are you interested in finding out more about the practice? Would you like to influence the development of local health services? If so, would you like to take an active part in our Patient Participation Group (PPG)? Patients and staff work together to share ideas and help improve the services and experiences offered at the practice. The principles of the group are:

  • To be an open forum for discussion
  • Everyone has a valuable opinion/view
  • No one to have “personal agendas”
  • For the benefit of the Practice and its patients
  • To work together with the practice to identify possible ways of improving patient services
  • Unacceptable behaviour will not be tolerated

If you want to join our PPG, please email us on [email protected].

Altrincham Healthcare Alliance Primary Care Network Patient Participation Group (PPG) is a PCN-wide group which includes patients across five local practices – including West Timperley Medical Centre – keen to support and influence our future health services.

We believe that patients are at the heart of all we do and have established an Altrincham Healthcare Alliance Primary Care Network PPG to enable patients to have an active part in shaping and developing our patient-centred health services.

Our five local practices – Altrincham Medical Practice, Park Medical Practice, Shay Lane Medical Centre (Drs Cranston, Haslam and Connell), St Johns Medical Centre and West Timperley Medical Centre – have been working together as Altrincham Healthcare Alliance Primary Care Network (PCN) to successfully provide services to patients.

  • Working together enabled us to be the first PCN in Trafford to offer Covid vaccinations to patients of our five practices in December 2020
  • Working together enables us to continue to roll-out the Covid vaccination programme
  • Working together enables us to offer additional services to support our patients via teams of Clinical Pharmacists, Social Prescribers and First Contact Physiotherapists
  • Working together enables us to deliver a Phlebotomy service
  • Working together has enabled us to treat our patients throughout the pandemic
  • Working together enables us to deliver additional evening and weekend appointments for patients

While each GP practice already has a Patient Participation Group, Altrincham Healthcare Alliance Primary Care Network’s group is representative of all patients in our area, with a membership of patients from each of our five GP practices.

The overwhelming response from more than 1200 patients, means we will be able to rotate the memberships regularly. We are committed to maximising patient involvement in our future planning and providing a patient voice for Altrincham Healthcare Alliance. All ideas are welcome.
