Patient Participation Group (PPG)

Patient Participation Group (PPG)

What is the Patient Participation Group or PPG?

A Patient Participation Group (PPG) is a group of people who are patients of the surgery and want to help it work as well as it can for patients, doctors and staff. The NHS requires every practice to have a PPG.

Why should I join?

Your experiences matter and you can bring different ideas to the surgery to help them treat patients better or to improve what they do in some way. You will also gain a better understanding of the NHS, and gather feedback from other patients.

How do I join?

Speak to your GP surgery for more information.
