What is a Patient Participation Group (PPG)?
A Patient Participation Group (PPG) is a group of patients who work together with the practice team to help improve services, patient experience, and communication within the surgery. The PPG provides patients with an opportunity to share ideas, suggestions, feedback, and raise concerns in a constructive way.
Objectives of the PPG
The aims of our PPG include:
- Supporting the practice in improving patient services and access
- Encouraging better communication between patients and the surgery
- Gathering patient feedback, ideas, and suggestions
- Helping the practice understand the needs of different patient groups
- Promoting health awareness and community engagement
- Discussing patient experience and identifying areas for improvement
PPG Meetings
The practice holds PPG meetings approximately every 6–8 weeks, where members meet with the GPs and practice management team to discuss patient feedback, ideas, concerns, and ongoing improvements within the surgery.
