Mount Road Practice PPG • 23 December 2023
Details of the party held at Whitehill Methodist Community Church on 13th December 2033
Mount Road Practice and the PPG worked together to put on a Christmas Party for the socially isolated patients of the practice at Whitehill Methodist Community Church on Wednesday 13th December. We would like to express our thanks to the following organisations who helped by donating items for the party: -
- Whitehil CO-OP
- Tesco
- Lidl
We would also like to thank: -
- Dove Bank Primary School for sending a children's choir to sing at the party.
- Whitehill Methodist Community Church for the use of their church hall.
- All the people who kindly donated gifts for the guests (Any remaining gifts will be given to socially isolated patients that couldn't make the party)
- Staff at the practice who not only donated presents and baked cakes but also helped out at the party.
Some of the comments made by the patients attending included: -
- “Thank you very much for inviting me, if I hadn’t come here, I wouldn’t have had a Christmas party”.
- “It’s been really nice, thank you for inviting me”.
- “I’ve had a lovely time, thank you so much, can we have another one next year?”.
A great time was had by all. You can find more pictures and videos of the party here - Pictures from the party.
Two reception classes from Thursfield Primary School recently visited the surgery as part of their education where they are learning about jobs in the community. The children learnt about the various roles of staff at the surgery. Not only did the visit help them understand more about the jobs at the surgery but it will also hopefully help them feel less anxious when they have to visit the surgery to see the doctor or the nurse in future. They had a great time Role-playing alongside the staff. You can see the pictures by clicking here .
Please note that if you want to attend this NHS App Workshop or any future sessions you must contact reception to book a place, as the sessions are by appointment only.
The PPG and Approach organised a Christmas party for attendees of the weekly dementia support group that meets every Thursday at Whitehill Methodist Community Church between 1:30 pm and 3:30 pm. We were also fortunate to have a visit from a choir from Dove Bank Primary School. You can see some pictures from the party with background music from the choir by clicking here .
