WE ARE COMMITTED TO GIVING YOU THE BEST POSSIBLE SERVICE. TO ACHIEVE THIS DOCTORS, STAFF AND PATIENTS MUST WORK TOGETHER.
The Friends of the Hadleigh Practice was formed by a group of volunteer patients in 1995 with the following aims: • To compile a register of volunteers to help with various projects when required. • To raise health awareness by holding health education meetings and lectures. • To inform patients of changes and developments in the Practice. • To enable patients to express their viewpoints about their care. • To raise funds. To this end the Friends of the Practice hold coffee mornings and raffles regularly on the first Monday in the month at Hadleigh House and the third Monday at Hadleigh Lodge. A newsletter is produced 3 times per year to inform patients of changes within the Practice forthcoming events. Patient surveys are conducted in an effort to improve services and to ascertain patient needs. Education meetings are held regularly throughout the year with locally based doctors and consultants speaking on popular medical topics.
