Patient Consultation - Premises

Heaton Medical Centre Proposed Premises Changes

Report of the Patient Consultation January 2010

The consultation period ran from Tuesday 24th November until Tuesday 12th January. Patients' views were gathered by questionniare, drop in sessions and telephone calls. The aim of the consultation was to:

Gather patients' views of the proposed premises change of Heaton Medical Centre from 37a Heaton Road, to Walkergate Hospital site.

Community Action on Health (CAOH) is an independent charity which works to bring about change by helping communities have a strong and effective voice on health issues. CAOH was asked by Newcastle Primary Care Trust (PCT) to assist the PCT and NHS North of Tyne staff to cary out some consultatio work with patients about proposals to recloate the surgery.

The consultation hopes to provide the practice, Newcastle PCT and NHS North of Tyne with an understanding of patients' views of the proposed move.  This will give the doctors additional valuable information to help inform their final decision about the relocation.
