A Patients Participation Group (PPG) was established in March 2005 to provide a working relationship with patients, staff and Doctors and to decide ways of making a positive contribution to services and facilities offered by the practice to patients. Meetings will be at regular intervals to give practice staff and PPG the opportunity to discuss topics of mutual interest in their practice.

The PPG will provide the means for patients to make positive suggestions about the practice and to receive feedback.

The PPG is a representative group that can and has called upon to influence decisions by local providers of health and social care i.e. Primary Care Trust Board.

I can be contacted direct (see details below), however if you have any suggestions you would like to put forward they can be left in the suggestion box which can be found in the lobby at the surgery.
