Patient group

The aim of the Patient Participation Group is to give patients, GPs and Practice staff an opportunity to meet, to exchange ideas and information, and then to take action. It is intended that our group’s activities will typically include holding health information events; consulting with patients on their experiences and their views on how services could be changed or improved; helping to produce a newsletter to keep patients up to date on the activities of the Group and the services that the practice offers – and much more!

Being involved in the PPG gives you the opportunity to have a say in and, what’s more, to take action to improve the way health services are delivered in the community. The PPG has a key role in increasing the quality and accessibility of the care available to you, your family, your neighbours and the whole of your community.

It’s a great way to give something back, and it’s the experience of other groups that members get a real buzz from having helped make important changes to the practice. It’s also a great way to meet new people and learn new skills, including diplomacy and team work.
