Join Our Patient Participation Group: Help Shape the Future of Your Care!

18th October 2024Patient information, Practice information
Dear patient,
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing the best possible care for all our patients, The Jubilee Street Practice Ltd would like to invite you to join our Patient Participation Group (PPG).
What is a Patient Participation Group (PPG)?
A PPG is a group of registered patients who meet regularly with the practice team to discuss how we can improve our services and ensure that we continue to meet the needs of everyone in our community. By sharing your views and experiences, you can help shape the way healthcare is delivered at The Jubilee Street Practice Ltd. The group meets four times a year and there may be other opportunities to engage with the practice, share views and hear from us over the year.
It is important to note that a PPG is not a space to discuss individual complaints or concerns. We are always open to discuss your individual complaints and concerns through the route described on our website below:
Why should I join?
  • Have your say: This is your opportunity to influence decisions about how we operate and provide feedback on areas that could be improved.
  • Get up close and personal with our team: You will get to meet either a GP, Nurse or somebody from our wider team to get to know the staff behind our service outside of when you come in for appointments or speak with them on the phone.
  • Work together: Collaborate with other patients and staff to find solutions to the challenges facing healthcare today.
  • Stay informed: Learn about changes and developments at the practice and in the wider healthcare system.
  • Build a stronger community: By working together, we can create a practice that better supports everyone’s needs.
  • Always something in it for you: Build your confidence, skills and share ideas that can be heard and acted upon, whilst improving the service that you receive!
Our next meeting will be held on Tuesday 12th November 2024 at 13:00 – 14:30, in person at the practice. We would love to see you there and hear your valuable input.
Thank you for your contribution
At this meeting, to say thank you for attending and for your contribution – a warm and healthy spread of food will be provided. Please confirm your attendance if you would like to attend and plan to eat and talk with us.
If you would like to attend or want to learn more about the PPG, please contact us at nelondonicb.jubileestreetpractice@nhs.net by Friday 8th November. Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a difference. Together, we can continue to improve our practice and the care we provide.

National Pertussis Vaccination and Immunisation 2024/25

1st October 2024Patient information, Uncategorised

Due to the number of cases of pertussis increasing and the recent infant deaths, we are focusing on the pertussis vaccination programme for pregnant women.

Pregnant women are eligible for their pertussis vaccination from 16 weeks of pregnancy. Receiving vaccination between 20 and 32 weeks of pregnancy provides optimal protection. Vaccination may still be given after 32 weeks of pregnancy until delivery; however it may not offer as high level of passive protection to the baby.

As a practice, we are carrying out this pertussis marketing campaign with a focus on preventing illness, sharing information with pregnant women around the benefits of getting vaccinated, using all relevant opportunities to signpost to pertussis vaccination, and offering pertussis vaccination opportunistically to pregnant women registered with us.
