The Aims of the Patient Participation Group (PPG)
We have recently put together a small committee of 12 patients (or their carers) who will meet up to 6 times a year to discuss the running of the practice. We also have a number currently on our waitlist. This is in its infancy so please watch this page for updates shortly and we will provide details of our newly appointed Chairperson, along with details of how you can make contact if you are interested or have any questions.
They will act as a ’critical friend’ to the Practice to improve its provision of healthcare and to strengthen the relationship between patients and the Practice, by communicating Practice decision-making to patients giving constructive criticism to the Practice from the patient viewpoint.
Please note that the PPG cannot become involved in matters of a specifically medical or clinical nature.
The National Association of Patient Participation
