The Patient Participation Group (PPG) is an essential and valued part of all our practices and helps us to understand what the patient experience is really like.
The role of the patient group is to:
- Be a critical friend to the practice
- Advise the practice on the patient perspective and provide insight into the responsiveness and quality of services
- Encourage patients to take greater responsibility for their own and their family’s health
- Carry out research into the views of those who use the service
- Organise health promotion events and improve health literacy
- Provide regular communication with the patient population
