We have an active patient participation group at our practice.
A patient participation group (PPG) is a group of patients and GP practice staff who meet regularly and work together to improve the quality of care and outcomes for patients. PPGs can bring significant benefits to a GP practice: improving services, allowing resources to be used more efficiently and, most importantly, developing mutually supportive networks (outside the GP or nurse appointment). Groups help the practice to develop services that reflect what patients need and want.
PPG members are all volunteers who are advocates for the practice and the services it provides. A thriving PPG is increasingly viewed as an indicator of a high-quality caring practice.
Effective PPGs strengthen the relationship between patients and practice staff which is critical to the provision of modern, high quality general practice.
The practice is building their PPG. Vacancies are open for Chair and secretary. The PPG will meet regularly to support the practice and improve patient care.
