Patient Participation Group

Patient Participation Group (PPG) refers to patients, such as you, who are taking an active interest in healthcare.

It gives you the opportunity to have a say in how services are planned, developed and evaluated, by development a good working relationship with the practice staff and GPs.

Membership of the group is voluntary and involves attending 2 meetings a year.

We are still looking to recruit more members to our Patient Participation Group, so if you are interested, please email us on: practice.managerF81669@nhs.net.

Patient Leader: Christopher Brown.
You can contact him on, cbbrown1947@hotmail.com
