The patient panel

In response to my recent post (and ezine article) about membership schemes, reader Ann Brosnan writes:

Hi Chris, Great article about membership. One thing I would add (as a patient) is how about being invited to join a ‘patient panel’ so that I can give feedback to the dental practice and be asked questions about my propensity to purchase new treatments. A win-win as they get the research, I feel valued and I know what developments are taking place in the world of dentistry. Regards,Ann

That sounds like a really good idea to me – anybody out there doing it?
