What is a a 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.
