Notice to all from Marazion Surgery
I wanted to get in touch to let you know about a couple of opportunities at NICE. We are currently recruiting patients, as well as their unpaid carers and their advocates (usually referred to as ‘lay members’ at NICE) to join the committees outlined below.
I would be very grateful if you could pass on details of these opportunities to your members or networks. You might also be interested in applying yourself or wish to consider encouraging others to apply.
Care before during and after an operation guideline committee
We’re looking for people with an understanding of receiving care before, during and after an operation and the issues important to patients and unpaid carers.
See recruitment advert for details of what working with the committee involves, the kind of experience and knowledge we are looking for, and how to apply. Recruitment is open until 5pm on Wednesday 13 December 2017.
We have also tweeted about this recruitment, in case you would like to share through your social media channels.
Venous thromboembolic diseases guideline committee
We’re looking for people with an understanding of either deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism and the issues important to patients and their unpaid carers.
See recruitment advert for details of what working with the committee involves, the kind of experience and knowledge we are looking for, and how to apply. Recruitment is open until 5pm on Monday 18 December 2017.
We have also tweeted about this recruitment, in case you would like to share through your social media channels.
Who are we looking for to fill these roles?
We would welcome an application from those who have recent experience or knowledge of these topics and are able to reflect the views, experiences and needs of the public to ensure they are included in the development of these guidelines. They need to be able to contribute effectively in a formal committee setting. Our lay members are paid a fee to attend meetings and we cover travel and other expenses.
If you consider it appropriate, please also promote these vacancies through social media (links to our tweets above) or your other communication channels (a newsletter, for example) at your disposal.
We really value the contribution that people who use health and social care services, their carers and advocates make to our guidelines, and would appreciate any help you can give in letting people know about this vacancy.
If you have any queries about these particular guidelines or any other aspect of NICE’s work, please do get in touch – I would be happy to chat further.
Best wishes,
Jess

Surgery Survey and next Patient Participation Group meeting.
Marazion Surgery Patient Survey 10 02 2014
Please feel free to download the survey and forward it on to the Surgery.
(Simply save it to your machine and then fill it in).
Hello everyone,
It has been a while since our last meeting, so I am proposing to hold one on Monday 3rd March at 6.00pm to 7.00pm. I hope as many as possible of you can attend – please let me know!
We usually do a patient satisfaction survey at this time of year. We have done the same one for the last two years but the feedback was that the form was far too long (27 questions on 4 pages). I am therefore proposing to make this more concise and I have attached a proposed survey picking out some of the main points (so we can still compare it to previous surveys). If you have any comments on this please can you let me know as soon as possible. We propose to do the survey soon and then discuss the results at the meeting on 3rd March.
Many thanks for your time and continued support. Please let me know your thoughts on the survey form and whether you can attend on 3rd March.
With best wishes,
Juliette

Below is a link to the results from the latest patient survey for the surgery. This just goes to show how fortunate we are to have such a well run facility
Patient Participation Group Meeting.
The group is not a forum for individual complaints and single issue concerns.
- We advocate open and honest communication and challenge between individuals.
- We will be flexible, listen, ask for help and support each other.
- We will demonstrate a commitment to delivering results, as a group.
- Silence indicates agreement – speak up, but always go through the Chair.
- All views are valid and will be listened to.
- No phones or other disruptions.
- We will start and finish on time, and stick to the Agenda.
—————————————–
Our local surgery is at Marazion and we are very proud of it. Having had some considerable construction work a couple of years ago, through which the staff maintained the high level of service in their usual happy and courteous manner, it now has a very spacious and comfortable waiting room and well equipped consulting rooms.
The surgery offers a wide range of services which can be seen on their web site at http://www.marazionsurgery.com/
