A panel made up of representatives from Carers Bucks, Bucks County Council and the Clinical Commissioning Group had unanimously agreed that these surgeries had reached the required level and they were on hand to celebrate the practices’ excellent achievements, along with the local Care Quality Commission inspector.
Pat Randell, a former carer who sat on the panel on behalf of Carers Bucks, told the award winners that the work they had done to support patients within their surgeries was fantastic and that she hoped other practices in Buckinghamshire would now follow their example so that every carer’s experience could be improved.
