This is a podcast from the Mount Road Practice PPG (Patient Participation Group). The podcast is an effort to try and reach out to patients who would like to access information about the surgery in a different media format. This may be due to their own preferred methods of accessing data or their own personal circumstances. We very much hope that this will fill a gap, and that you will find the content both informative and enlightening, but as always, if you have any feedback or any future topics you would like to see covered please contact us via our email at admin@kidsgrovegpsppg.co.uk
