INTRODUCTION Welcome to the Flying Scotsman Health Centre Patient Participation Group Meeting It is very important that we have these meetings to give patients and practice staff the opportunity to meet and discuss topics of mutual interest for the benefit of our patients This meeting is not about complaints or personal health issues and should be discussed outside of the meeting if necessary It is about how we can work together to bring the community and services together To provide a means for patients to become more involved and make suggestions about the healthcare services they receive 2

PRACTICE UPDATE NEW OWNERSHIP You may be aware, there has been some speculation recently about the future ownership of Operose Health - the company that hold the contract for this practice. Operose Health have moved to the new ownership of the HCRG Group. The HCRG Group is a UK based and owned company and is one of the UK s largest community health and care service providers. There will be no changes to the way we manage our practice. Patients will still be seen by the same Doctors, Nurses and Administration teams as they are now and they should contact and use the surgery as normal. The reason is because the contractual change of ownership takes place at the very top level of the company structure. Although this is very much business as usual for our practice teams, it is important that the PPG, are aware of this proposed change of ownership and have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about this. The local NHS integrated care board (ICB) is aware and will initiate their own assurance processes around HCRG. This is right and proper, as the local NHS, communities and stakeholders will want reassurance that our high-quality care will continue under new ownership. DRIQ DrIQ is the online platform that the practice uses. It is an app developed by AT Medics who are part of the Operose Health group. The app allows patients to order medication, register with the practice; request fit notes; send messages to the admin team; update health data. The app also has pathways built in for patients to access, e.g. back pain. As we move forward with DrIQ patients will be able to book their appointments through this app and also be triaged by a clinician. We have 2499 patients currently registered on the app. continue to 5
