Friends of Medwyn

The staff of Medwyn Surgery have a very clear objective. We want to provide our patients with the best possible service, not only in medical care, but also in terms of health information and awareness, the environment of the surgery and doctor / patient relationships. As part of this initiative, we have formed a group called “Friends of Medwyn”.

The Functions Of The Friends Of Medwyn Are

To provide a means of communication between patients and Medwyn staff. Not for individual issues (which are, of course, a matter between a patient and his or her G.P.), but for general issues, both medical & non-medical, affecting patients in general.
To provide information on medical issues (e.g., background medical information, sources of information such as leaflets and internet websites, new clinical developments, support groups for various medical conditions, NHS news, etc).
To keep patients up to date on Medwyn surgery itself (e.g. new administrative procedures, new equipment, new staff etc).
To raise money for the Medwyn surgery. The money we raise will go towards providing equipment & facilities to Medwyn, for the benefit of patients & for the surgery as a whole. We would be grateful for any donations and, if you would like to make a donation, please send or take a cheque to the surgery, and make your cheque payable to “Friends of Medwyn”.
