Bulkington Surgery at a Glance
Patient experience
Patient Participation Group
Patient Participation Group (PPG) is normally made of practice staff and patients that are representative of the practice population. In some cases, the PPG could be facilitated by patients with no practice involvement. The main aim of the PPG is to ensure that patients are involved in decisions about the range and quality of services provided and, over time, commissioned by the practice.
Using the PPG, GP practices are encouraged to promote the proactive engagement of patients and to seek views from practice patients through the use of local practice surveys. The outcomes of the engagement and the views of patients are published below if this practice has a PPG.

Appointments
If you are confronted by a serious problem such as Acute chest pain or severe bleeding, call an ambulance (tel 999) before calling the surgery.
Booking an Appointment
Booking an appointment can be done either in person at the surgery, by telephone, or by registering to use our on-line services.
If you think that you may need a chaperone, an interpreter (either for sign language or because your first language is not English) please let us know when booking your appointment
If you require a doctor for something that can not wait until the next routine appointment is available you will be seen on the day if appropriate. There are usually some appointments added to the morning and afternoon surgeries if all the routine appointments have been booked for that session. You may be asked to contact the surgery at 8.30am or 2pm to see if any more appointments have been added.
However if you have an emergency and the reception staff do not have any appointments to offer you you should ask them for a telephone consultation with the Duty GP who will assess the urgency when speaking to you and will decide the appropriate action.
Blood test appointments and midwife appointment although booked through the surgery are booked in line with guidelines from the Trust who employees them and is not the control of the surgery.
If you have any complaints about these services, please contact: George Eliot Hospital.
Please only use Accident and Emergency Departments or 999 if you have an urgent problem.
