Boundary House Surgery has been awarded Highly Commended in the Corkhill Awards for our work in the community. Please find below a statement from Janice Downing who is Chair Boundary House Surgery Patient Participation Group.
“We are delighted to have been awarded Highly Commended in the Corkhill Awards for our work in the community, with another practice within the same building, and with a local secondary school.
We have hosted social events; quizzes, coffee mornings, a 70 Jubilee tea party for our late Queen, a sing along, and movement to music classes.
Our link with Winchmore School has been beneficial to patients and students. Our patients have conducted mock work interviews with the students, including students with learning difficulties. We hosted a Careers Event where students were able to ask questions from our panel of experts; a GP, Practice Nurse, Pharmacist, Practice Manager and Receptionists.
The practices have offered work experience opportunities to some students.
The students help us with social events, setting up tables, serving refreshments, and organising raffles. They have been a great help with IT projects, including a QR code on a PPG poster, and translations for the Turkish community.
Our next project is to set up a Community Hub offering patients help with online access to GP services and health information.
We are proud of our achievements and so pleased that they have been recognised with this award”
