What does a PPG do?
- Work together with the practice to improve services and facilities for patients
- Act as a sounding board for practice staff on issues affecting patients
- Build a two way communication and co-operation between practice and patients
- To act as a representative group to support the practice and influence local provision of health and social care
- Enhance good relations between the GP practice and patients and provide feedback on current procedures and new developments
