Patient Participation Group

A Patient Participation Group (PPG) is a group of patients from this GP surgery who meet with health professionals to discuss topics of mutual interest and to make positive suggestions about the Practice.

We have had a PPG for several years. There is a formal structure with a ‘Constitution’.

When and where do we meet?

Our PPG meets every other month on a DAY at TIME and meetings last about two hours. The meetings are very ‘user friendly’’ and are fully supported by the surgery.

What do we do?

We take an active interest in healthcare and have a say in how services are planned, developed and evaluated.

What we don’t do

We don’t discuss patients’ personal health needs and we don’t have access to patients’ health records – these are confidential, between the surgery and the patient. Any contact details you provide us are kept quite separate from your personal health records.

How can you get involved?
