Patient Participation Group

Patient Participation Groups (PPGs) are made up of volunteers interested in healthcare issues which meet to decide ways and means of making a positive contribution to the services and facilities offered by the surgery to patients.

They are an excellent way for practices to keep in touch with the patient perspective and improve the patient experience.

They can also help to influence the commissioning of services and support the practice through more practical ways like fundraising or organising support groups.

Please note PPG is not a forum for individual complaints or for single issue campaigns.

These meetings are held every 2 months. If you would like to attend and would like to give the practice some of your ideas/ suggestions on how you think the surgery could improve to patients, or you would like to know more, please let a receptionist know/ complete our Patient Participation Group Registration form.
