Patient Participation Group

The Patient Participation Group lets patients give ideas and suggestions to help the surgery.

• It is run by people who give their time.
• They speak for the patients to the surgery.
• They help with things like the newsletter and health talks.

What does the PPG do?

• Helps patients learn more about the surgery and its staff.
• Gives patients the latest news about the surgery.
• Tells the surgery what patients think and need.
• It helps patients and staff talk to each other better.

Why does the PPG matter?

• Building good relationships:
  • We help patients and the surgery work well together. We share patient stories and ideas to make things better for everyone.
• Raising awareness:
  • We help people learn about health campaigns and new ideas that help the community.
• Support networks:
  • We try to build good links between patients and the surgery to help each other.
