12th June marks the start of PPG Awareness Week!

Come together to celebrate the work of our local Patient Participation Groups!

 

Patient Participation Group (PPG) is a group made up of:

– Practice patients aged 16 years and over

– Carers of registered patients

– Members of the GP Practice staff

 

What do PPGs do?

– Review patients’ surveys, such as the Family and Friends Test

– Listen to patients’ stories and views

– Explore ideas and suggestions on how to improve patients’ experiences in GP practices

– Discuss with GP practice staff an action plan for service improvements

– Monitor the implementation of the service improvement action plan

– Run small projects around patients’ education, health promotion, and improvements to the GP practice’s environment.
