About the Patient Participation Group

What is a Patient Participation Group (PPG)?

A Patient Participation Group (PPG) is a group of patients, carers, and healthcare staff who meet to discuss practice issues and patient experiences, working together to improve the services provided by the practice.
The PPG acts as a bridge between patients and the healthcare practice, allowing patients to contribute to decisions on the range and quality of services provided.

Feedback and Improvement: By joining the PPG, patients can provide feedback and suggestions on how the practice can improve its services and address community health needs.
Information and Support: PPGs help raise awareness about important health-related issues in the community and promote local health campaigns.
Representation: The PPG ensures that the voice of patients is heard in decisions that affect the practice and its services, helping to shape a healthcare environment that works for everyone.
Health Promotion: The group may organise activities to promote a healthy lifestyle, hold educational events, or contribute to healthcare-related newsletters or social media updates.

By joining the PPG, you will have the opportunity to make a real difference in your healthcare practice and the wider community.
