About the PPG
The Patient Participation Group (PPG) was set up to provide a link between the surgery and its patients. It was formed to enable the practice to better understand its patients and provide better healthcare through communication and access to surgery facilities.
The group has input into the way the practice runs and the services it provides.
Interested in becoming involved with the PPG?
A group of patients meet regularly with the doctors and practice manager to promote a clearer understanding of the way the practice works.
Any patient or carer of a patient registered with the practice is welcome to attend.
