Patient Participation Group

The Patient Participation Group consists of a group of patients who try to make a positive contribution to the services offered to patients at the surgery. The PPG meets monthly; every other month it is joined by representatives of the Practice staff.

The objectives of the PPG are:
– To form a two-way communication bridge between patients and the practice.
– To contact patients for their views and provide regular feed back to the practice.
– To highlight any services that could be improved.
– To promote health events and awareness days. This is done with posters, leaflets and information packs displayed on the Patients’ Notice Board and tables throughout the waiting areas of the surgery.
– To influence the provision of local Health and Social care.
