Patient Group (PPG)

Patient Participation Group (PPG) is a group of people who are patients of the surgery that work with the practice to improve services and communication with its patients.

The PPG meets Bi-Monthly to discuss matters relating to the practice and give patients a chance to voice their opinions on the services the practice offers. Practice representatives attend these meetings to enable patients and the practice to work together to create the best service possible.

There are many reasons to join our PPG, please find a list of these below:

  • Healthcare provision delivery feedback
