What is the Patient Participation Group or PPG?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Patient Participation Group (PPG) is a group of people who are patients of the surgery and want to help it work as well as it can for patients, doctors and staff. The NHS requires every practice to have a PPG.<\/p>\n

Why should I join?<\/strong><\/p>\n

You have been to the surgery as a patient, parent, carer or friend. Your experiences matter and you can bring different ideas to the surgery to help us treat patients better or to improve what we do in some way. You will also gain a better understanding of the NHS, and gather feedback from other patients.<\/p>\n

How often does the Patient Participation Group meet?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We meet at the surgery, but not too often. We know that you are busy, so we meet only a few times per year and hope that you can join us. If you can\u2019t make meetings then don\u2019t worry \u2013 you can still be part of our virtual group.<\/p>\n

Will my views be heard?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your views are important and will be listened to. It may not be possible to act on every suggestion, but all feedback is very valuable. Working in a spirit of mutual respect, openness and trust, all patients’ views will be discussed and, where appropriate, we will work together on solutions.<\/p>\n

If you would like more information or to join our PPG and help shape the future of the practice please do get in contact via\u00a0https:\/\/florey.accurx.com\/p\/D81637<\/a>\u00a0during our opening hours.<\/p>\n
