Purpose of the PPG

The purpose of the Patient Participation Group (PPG) is to develop a positive and constructive relationship between the patients and Medical Center staff. 

The group will provide input from patients to support the improvement of quality and service delivery provided by the center and the wider health services available to patients or service users who are registered patients.  

The aim of the PPG is to:

  • Be a critical friend to the medical center.
  • Advise the Medical Center on the patient perspective and providing insight into the responsiveness and quality of services.
  • Encourage patients to take greater responsibility for their own and their family’s health.
  • Carrying out research into the views of those who use the practice.
  • Organise health promotion events and improve health literacy.
  • Regular communications with the patients who use the Medical Center facilities and services.
The PPG will aim to meet every 2 months as agreed at the previous PPG meeting.  Each meeting will follow an agreed agenda which will be recorded and minuted with actions.
