The Aims of the Patient Participation Group
What is the role of the Patient Participation Group?
Patient participation refers to patients, such as you, who are taking an active interest in healthcare and how their Surgery is run.

What are the benefits of a Patient Participation Group?
Patients will have a better understanding of how the Surgery works.

Patients will have a forum to suggest ideas and raise concerns.
Patients will be consulted about arrangements in the GP Surgery before decision are made.
Patients’ views will be represented in local health care.
