Patient Participation Group

We encourage our patients to give their views about new developments in the Practice and our wider community. We think it is important to access views and opinions from as many patients as possible and we strongly encourage our patients to join our PPG. 

We have consulted with our patients and our feedback suggests that many of our patients are  busy and may not have time to come to the surgery for face to face meetings. Therefore, we have created an active ‘virtual’ group of our patients. This mechanism allows patients to easily exchange views, participate in practice surveys and with whom we can consult from time to time by email.

Meetings

A PPG meeting is attended by senior member of the Practice, and practice patients and carers. It is usually by up to 10 people.

The meeting is managed by the Patient Chair or Practice Chair.

The meeting follows an agenda that can look similar to this:

  1. Welcome and introductions
  2. Minutes and actions arising from the last meeting
  3. Updates from GP practice
  4. Other agenda items
  5. Patients’ feedback, suggestions and comments
  6. Date of the next meeting

 

The meetings usually last around 1 hour.
