Patient Participation Group

A Patient Participation Group (PPG) is a group made up of GP Practice patients aged 16 years and over, carers of registered patients and members of the GP Practice staff.

The aim of this group is to influence the way services are delivered by the Practice.

All registered patients are welcome to contribute to the Patient Participation Group.

▪ Review patients’ surveys such as the Family and Friends Test.
▪ Listen to patients’ stories and views.
▪ Explore ideas and suggestions on how to improve patients’ experiences in the GP Practice.
▪ Discuss with GP Practice staff and agree on an action plan for service improvements.
▪ Monitor the implementation of the service improvement action plan.
▪ Run small projects around patients’ education, health promotion, and improvements to GP Practice environment.
▪ A PPG meeting is not a forum to raise individual complaints.
▪ A PPG meeting is not a forum to seek medical advice.
