Profile of the Patient User Group

Note:
The catchment area for Dawley Medical practice is a traditional white working class area. There is a small Asian population and a small population from Eastern Europe.

It is not possible to give an accurate ethnic breakdown for the practice population as records are not available for patients registered before 2001.

The biggest patient group within the practice population is males and females between the ages of 15 – 44, with the second largest group being males and females between the ages of 45 – 64.

The Patient Participation Group has a greater number of members aged 65 plus. This not altogether unexpected, given the constraints imposed by things like working and family commitments for those in the younger age ranges.  This is an issue that the group are looking to address.
