Patient Participation Group (PPG)

About the Patient Group

Since November 2012 a Patient Participation Steering Group with 10 patient members, a practice partner and the practice manager has worked to promote effective communication between the practice and its patients and to ensure that patients are involved in the development and monitoring of services at the Medical Centre.

What is the Virtual Patient Participation Group?

This is a group which has been set up in response to patients that have said they would like to be involved in a Participation Group but are unable to attend meetings.

As a member of the Virtual Patient Participation Group, we will send you e-mails asking for your opinion on a range of topics.

You decide how often and when you would like to answer.
