Patient Participation Group

The Patient Participation Group (PPG) was set up in December 2011 with the aim of enhancing communication between patients and the practice. The PPG meets monthly with the practice manager and discusses the performance of the practice and the development of the practice. The PPG is run by patients and gives our patients the opportunity to help with development of the practice, and influence changes and improvements to the practice.
