PATIENT PARTICIPATION GROUP (PPG)

As part of the Government initiative to include patients in the development of local services we are keen to provide our patients with the opportunity to express their views and have formed a Patient Participation Group.

The purpose of the group is to ensure patients are involved in decisions about the range and quality of services provided, and over time, commissioned by your surgery.

If you are interested in joining the group, then please register your interest either by completing a form in Reception or by clicking the “Join our Patient Group” tab below and completing the form on line.

We thank you for you interest.
