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.
