What We Do
Our purpose is:
- To help improve the experience of patients attending the surgery.
- To share ideas to help patients to take more responsibility for their own health and to help improve the services offered by the practice.
- To support the surgery to organise information sessions on medical and health related topics of interest to patients.
- To develop self-help projects to meet the needs of patients and make best use of GP time
- To provide a forum to ensure patients are kept informed about the wider changes within the NHS and Social Care and the impact these will have locally.
- To act as a representative group that can be called upon to influence the local provision of health and social care.
- To improve communication through the practice website as well as through noticeboards, emails, texts and social media.
- To raise funds to enable the practice to purchase equipment for patients that are not normally funded by the NHS and to support and improve the work of the surgery.
- To liaise with other PPG groups and interested parties to increase awareness of developments and how these will impact and improve local services
