Shropshire and Telford and Wrekin Patient Groups

Across Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin we have two large Patient Groups , who are committed to listening to patients voices:

Shropshire Patient Group

This is a volunteer network that represents, supports and encourages Patient Groups in medical practices in Shropshire. They strive to achieve the best possible healthcare in towns and villages across the county by making sure the voices of patients are heard by service providers.
