Patient Participation Group
What is a PPG?
A patient participation group or PPG is a group of patients, carers and GP practice staff who meet to discuss practice issues and patient experience to help improve services for all.
Purpose of a PPG
- To give patients and practice staff the opportunity to meet and discuss topics of mutual interest.
- To provide a means for patients to become more involved and make suggestions about the services they receive.
- To explore issues from patient complaints and surveys, contribute to action plans and help monitor improvements.
- To contribute feedback to the practice and propose developments or changes.
- To support health awareness and patient education.
Interested in joining?
The only requirement a PPG has is that you are registered with the practice. If you’re interested in becoming a member, please contact the practice manager, Lisa Yates, on 01295 770855.
