A group of volunteer patients, carers and surgery staff who meet regularly to discuss and support the running of the surgery.
Patient Participation Groups look at the services offered, patient experience and how improvements can be made for the benefit of everyone.
Each Patient Participation Group is different, but they all have the aim of making sure that the surgery puts the patient, and improving health, at the heart of everything it does.
Most of this will be carried out via:
- short questionnaires
- correspondence
- face to face meetings
It is not, therefore, necessary for you to be able to attend meetings to be part of the group.
