Patient Participation Group (PPG)

The following information describes the PPG that was in place. This information is for historical reference.

The overall reason for the existence of the group is to develop a positive and constructive relationship between patients, the Practice and the community it serves, ensuring the Practice remains accountable and responsive to its patients needs.

The key aims of the group are:

To create and improve two-way communication between patients, the Practice and the community it serves.
To provide an avenue for patients' input into the way that facilities and services are planned and implemented.
To support the Practice in good health promotions, preventative medicine and health literacy.
To collect patient opinions and experiences to help the Practice to evaluate its services.
To communicate to the Practice community and/or the wider community, information about the practice.

The Group was always looking for new members and interested parties were asked to contact the Practice Manager.
