Patient Participation Group
Can you help shape the future of your GP surgery?
JOIN OUR PATIENT PARTICIPATION GROUP!
We are setting up a Patient Participation Group (PPG), 4 times a year, consisting of patients, carers and GP practice staff to meet to discuss practice issues and patient experience to help improve the service.
If you are interested in volunteering and joining, please ask the team at reception for more information.
What is the PPG and why does it exist?
The PPG is a group of patients who work together with the practice to help make things better for everyone. It’s all about putting patients at the heart of what we do, something the NHS really values and encourages.
Will it affect my care?
Not at all. Being part of the PPG doesn’t affect your care in any way. Your medical records remain private, and anything you share as part of the group will be anonymous when discussed with the practice.
What does the PPG do?
- Share ideas to help improve how the practice runs
- Give feedback and raise any concerns in a constructive way
- Help organise events on health topics for the local community
- Create a regular patient newsletter
- Make sure our website is easy to use and helpful
- And much more!
Why should I join?
- Be more involved in shaping your local healthcare
- Help ensure patient feedback is listened to and acted on
- Make a real difference to the NHS and your community
- Learn more about local health services
- Feel more confident by having a say and seeing real changes happen
Why it matters to us
Your voice helps us understand the patient experience better. Your suggestions often lead to simple but effective changes we might not have thought of. Together, we can create a better service for everyone.
