We have an active patient participation group at our practice.
A PPG is a group of patients, carers, and GP practice staff who meet to discuss practice issues and patient experience, and work together to improve the services provided by the practice.
Our Aims:
- To foster good communication between the practice and patients
- To promote patient involvement in the development of services
- To help the practice meet the needs of the community it serves

- Help shape local services

Our group:
- Meets regularly (in person or online)
- Discusses new services or proposed changes
- Supports health promotion events
- Advises on practice communications (like the website or patient leaflets)
- Acts as a "critical friend" to the practice
