Goyt Valley Medical Practice

Are you a patient or carer at Goyt Valley Medical Practice?
If yes, you have the chance to support both the practice and local community by joining our Patient Participation Group (PPG).
PPGs play an important role in shaping General Practice by offering patients’ perspectives on local healthcare services. Our group is made up of volunteer patients, carers, and surgery staff, meeting every 2-3 months to discuss and help improve how the surgery operates.
PPGs review current services and gather feedback from patients about their experiences. By working together, we focus on supporting positive changes that can benefit everyone. We also celebrate our successes when high-quality care is consistently delivered.
Each PPG is unique, but all share the common goal of putting patients first and promoting better health management for everyone.

We hope you'll consider joining us as part of our PPG!

💚Children’s Grief Awareness Week 17 - 23 November 2025

This year, the Week's theme is Sharing Stories, Strengthening Hope.

We know that many children and young people feel isolated and lonely, particularly during the initial time after a bereavement. We also know that a bereavement does not define who they are, although it can become part of their identity. This year we want to encourage everyone to share a story about a bereavement, because we are all affected by bereavement.

Grief is hard but it can also give a child or young person insights and resilience they can take through their life. That’s why we want these stories to highlight hope too, recognising that despite bereavement there are still opportunities and moments to celebrate.

We are still having issues with our website. Our website provider is working to fix this but in the meantime please see the below message for details on how to access the surgery.

We are very sorry for any inconvenience this is causing.
