Last evening was the AGM of New Queen Street Surgery – Patients participation Group.
A very successful year for the group both in engagement with the surgery and patients, but also in raising money for equipment benefiting patients.
Sad new that Dr Gary Howsam will be leaving the surgery in December to take up a new GP role at the ‘Octagon Practice Group’ Dr H has been at the NQS for 11 years and is for the time being still Chairman of the Clincal Commissioning Group for P’boro & Cambs.
Also leaving NQS will Practice Manager Helena Papworth who also will be joining the ‘Octagon Group’
At patient level, it is hoped we shall see little or no effect, as the surgery is planning ahead for these changes.
Dr H was presented with a small gift from the group for his support since the PPGs inception.
At the meeting, Martin & Sandra Green presented a cheque to the PPG from monies they had raised selling cycle parts.
Mayor Julie Windle have a short speech recognising the valuable work the PPG is carrying out.

The present committee chaired by Bernard Gray-Esson were re-elected en-bloc.
