I have found the newsletter of the PPG to be an excellent way of finding out what is happening at the Blackmore Vale Partnership surgeries of Abbey View Medical Centre, Sturminster Medical Practice, Marnhull and Fontmell Magna.
Here is the June newsletter to download as a ‘taster’ but sign up with the PPG to get future issues!
PPG Newsletter June 22 FINAL (1)
The Social Prescribing publication, Shout Out will be emailed along with the newsletter and this can also be downloaded here: June 22 Shout Out
Find out how to join the PPG and what it is all about at https://www.blackmorevalesurgery.co.uk/patient-participation-group where there is an online form or ask at the surgery reception.
