To provide for patients to make positive suggestions about the practice, and be an advocate for patient preferences when appropriate.
To involve further patients from the wider population, and be an advocate for the practice when appropriate.
To encourage health education activities within the practice.
To develop self-help projects to meet the needs of fellow patients, such as befriending, help with transport, and bereavement support.
To act as a representative group that can be called upon to influence the local provision of health and social care.
