Friends of Henfield Medical Practice
Registered Charity Number: 1140280
The Friends of Henfield Medical practice Trust is a patient participation group, originally set up in 1995 by patients for patients. There is no membership - it is open to anyone who is registered with the Henfield practice, either at Henfield or at the Woodlawn Surgery in Partridge Green, all of whom are welcome to participate in any activities of the Friends.
Aims
The main aim of the Friends is to act as a link between the practice, patients and the community, and to advance the education of health care by the provision of talks / lectures and other educational activities.
The Friends also aim to raise funds and accept donations for the purchase and maintenance of medical and other equipment, machinery and facilities for the benefit of the communities served by the practice
