What is a patient participant group or PPG?
A Patient Participation Group (PPG) is a group of people who are patients of the surgery and want to help it work as well as it can for patients, doctors and staff. The NHS requires every practice to have a PPG.
We are looking to recruit a group of patients who will attend meetings to guide the future direction of the surgery. Any patient can join the PPG and we hope it will represent patients of all ages and backgrounds.
To gain views across the wider practice demographic we also have a virtual PPG of which we have a group of patients who are contacted via email to gain their views on practice issues.
To express your interest in joining the PPG, please click the button and fill out the form with your details and we will be in touch.
Why should I join?
You have been to the surgery as a patient, parent, carer or friend.
Your experiences matter and you can bring different ideas to the surgery to help us treat patients better or to improve what we do in some way.
You will also gain a better understanding of the NHS, and gather feedback from other patients.
