About the PPG
What is the Patient Participation Group or PPG?
A Patient Participation Group (PPG) is a group of people who are patients of the surgery and want to help it work as well as it can for patients, doctors and staff.
The NHS requires every practice to have a PPG.
Why should I join?
You have been to the surgery as a patient, parent, carer or friend. Your experiences matter and you can bring different ideas to the surgery to help us treat patients better or to improve what we do in some way. You will also gain a better understanding of the NHS, and gather feedback from other patients.
We would like to know how we can improve our service to you and what you think about the services we provide.
To help us with this we are developing further our PPG so that you can have your say. We will ask the members of this representative group some questions from time to time, such as what you think about our opening times or the quality of the care or service you received. We would like to set up a “virtual” group and will contact you via email. However, there is an alternative option, which is to maintain contact by post. Our aim is to keep surveys etc. succinct so it shouldn’t take too much of your time.
The group meets every 6 months to discuss the results of surveys etc. If you would like to be part of this group please contact the practice.
We aim to gather as many patients as we can from as broad a spectrum as possible to get a truly representative sample. We need young people, workers, retirees, people with long term conditions and people from non-British ethnic groups.
If you are happy for us to contact you occasionally by email (or by mail) please fill in the online form below and complete all fields, alternatively contact the Practice Manager. Forms are also available from reception.
