A PPG is a group of volunteer patients who work alongside the practice to help improve the services we provide.

The PPG offers patients the opportunity to share ideas, provide constructive feedback and work with the practice on topics that matter to our local community. It helps ensure that the patient voice is heard when we are developing or improving services.

What is the purpose of our PPG?

·       To give patients the opportunity to provide feedback to the practice

·       To represent the views of patients

·       To provide a safe and welcoming space for all patients to voice their concerns

·       To encourage patient activities and events within the practice

·       To develop projects that help other patients, such as befriending, help with transport and bereavement support

·       To gather feedback on health services in the area

·       To help patients understand the challenges faced in general practice

The newly formed PPG first met informally on 30th June. The next meeting is 4th August, followed by another on 8th September. The September meeting will be the last in the sequence of monthly meetings, designed to help establish the group. Subsequent meetings will be held on a quarterly basis.

Meetings minutes and further information about upcoming meetings will be posted on this page.
