About us
Balham Park Surgery Patient Group (BPS Patient Group) exists as a link between the practice and its patients, providing information to patients so that you have better access to the services you need and feeding back your ideas and concerns to the practice. We hold regular meetings via Zoom attended by patients and representatives from the practice, including the Business Manager, Jo Foley, and a GP Partner. To help keep you informed about the Surgery and local health matters, we issue a news letter, The Bulletin, six times a year which is posted in the BPS website and distributed directly to all patients by email. We also arrange educational talks on health topics, and we arrange other occasional events such as Open Forums when patients can meet Surgery staff.
There is no need to “join” – as a patient, you are automatically a member of the group. However, we do need more patients to participate actively so we can be fully representee of the wider patient group. You would be warmly welcomed at our monthly meetings. For further guidance on participating, or if you have any questions or comments about the practice, do feel free to email us at bpspatientgroup@gmail.com.

Our objectives for 2024/25 are to
- Work with BPS to analyse patient feedback and ensure that recurrent issues are addressed
- Produce a shorter Bulletin at least every two months reflecting practice priorities
- Keep Patient Group part of website updated and relevant
- Draft a programme of Education talks (2 x ed talk plus one Open Forum) for the year
- Plan for ways to distribute more widely, e.g. videos, presentation notes
- Support BPS staff projects and training by providing speakers and information
- Maintain links with Thurleigh Road and other local and national patient groups
