Patient Participation Group

Membership

Members are co-opted. If possible the membership should reflect the range of the Practice’s population, including those who are hard to reach or with long-term conditions. The membership should also include people from the various villages served by the Practice.

Currently about six Practice patients meet every 3 months to discuss changes and innovations at the Surgery from the patients’ perspective. The group aims to keep all patients informed of what is happening at the surgery and give feedback to the GPs and Practice Manager. This provides an opportunity for Surgery personnel to discuss issues of concern to patients outside their busy day-to-day schedules.

Interested in joining?

You don’t need any specialist medical knowledge to join the PPG, and it won’t take up a huge amount of your time. We meet quarterly at the surgery, on a weekday evening, usually at 7pm.

We would particularly like to welcome new members who are under 30, or who have young children, but anyone is welcome to apply. If you are interested, please contact the PPG by emailing wychwood.reception@nhs.net or by letter to PPG, via the Surgery.
