A group of volunteer patients, carers and surgery staff who meet regularly to discuss and support the running of the surgery.
Patient Participation Groups look at the services offered, patient experience and how improvements can be made for the benefit of everyone.
Each Patient Participation Group is different, but they all have the aim of making sure that the surgery puts the patient, and improving health, at the heart of everything it does.
The purpose of this group is to gain views, ideas and suggestions from the patients/members about the surgery and then feedback these comments constructively to the practice and action these where possible, these views, ideas and suggestions will be collected a minimum of 3 times a year via a survey monkey form which will be emailed to all current members of our PPG.
