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.
