What is a PPG?
- A PPG is a group of volunteer patients, carers, and GP practice staff.
- They meet regularly to discuss practice issues, patient experiences, and ways to improve services.
- PPGs aim to ensure patients are at the heart of the practice’s work and that their voices are heard.
- They can also be involved in health promotion and developing strong links with local health commissioners.
How can you help?
- Do you want to make a meaningful difference within your surgery and community?
- Would you like to share your views and be part of improving health and wellbeing across your primary care population?
- Can you represent other patient’s voices and provide feedback to GP practices to help drive change?
- Would you like to gather views / share information with other patients within the community?
- Are you able to commit to quarterly meetings with your GP staff and other patient volunteers?
- If you would like to learn more about what’s involved in becoming a volunteer member of our Hatters Patient Participation Group (PPG) and how you can support your surgery, please speak to a member of your GP surgery staff who will arrange for one of our Health and Wellbeing Team to contact you to discuss further.
