What is a PPG?
A Patient Participation Group (PPG) is a group of patients who work with the practice to help improve the services we provide. It provides a link between patients and the practice, giving patients an opportunity to share their views, raise issues and make suggestions about how services could be improved.
The PPG works alongside the practice team to help ensure that the views and experiences of patients are considered when making decisions and developing services. It can also help the practice understand what matters most to the people who use our services and communicate important information to the wider patient community.
Aims of the PPG
- To offer opinions in a constructive manner and to put forward ideas on behalf of other patients.
- To improve the provision of health care.
- To improve communication between surgery, patients and the wider community about matters concerning the surgery and health in general.
- To provide assistance in development of new services.
- To encourage a spirit of self help and support amongst patients to improve their health and social care.
