Patient Participation Group

The Purpose of a Patient Participation Group is:

• To give practice staff and patients the opportunity to, where possible, share decision making in the running of the practice.

• To provide for patients to make positive suggestions about the practice, and be an advocate for patient preferences when appropriate.

• To involve further patients from the wider population, and be an advocate for the practice when appropriate.

• To encourage health education activities within the practice.

• To develop self-help projects to meet the needs of fellow patients, such as befriending, help with transport, and bereavement support.

• To act as a representative group that can be called upon to influence the local provision of health and social care.

You may be asked to complete a survey about areas the patient participation group would like to improve or develop.

We will update patients on our website with more information with findings from our survey.
