What is a patient participation group or PPG?
A Patient Participation Group (PPG) is a group of people who are patients of the GP surgery or health centre and want to help it work as well as it can for patients, doctors and staff. The NHS requires every GP practice to have a PPG.
What is the purpose of a patient participation group?
To give practice staff and patients the opportunity to, where possible, share decision-making in the running of the practice. To provide for patients to make positive suggestions about the practice, and be an advocate for patient preferences when appropriate.
How can I join a patient participation group?
You can join via your own GP practice:
Check your practice website for joining instructions
Speak to your practice manager or reception staff
