A PPG is a partnership between the Surgery and the patients enabling good communication between them to improve the quality of the service that is provided.
Our PPG is comprised of patient volunteers who are essentially “Area Representatives” for their Village or locality. They are supported by the Practice Manager who meets with them bi monthly to discuss surgery and healthcare issues, both national and local, large and small so that the members can then relay points back to their community through local networks.
Purpose of the PPG
To enable the patients to have a voice in the provision of health-care in their area
To give both staff and patients the chance to discuss health topics of interest.
Patients can give constructive feedback, requests and suggestions.
Meetings
The Group meets alternative months at the Primary Care Centre.
