Make a difference and feel the difference by joining our surgery patient group
Volunteering to join our local patient participation group (PPG) is very rewarding and can make a real difference for our local community.
Joining our group is a great opportunity to help shape future healthcare services. Made up of likeminded volunteer patients, the practice manager and one or more of the GPs from the practice, we meet on a regular basis to discuss services and how improvements can be made to benefit patients and the practice.
There is an open invitation for anyone that would like to join the group. Many volunteers want to put something back into their community and make an impact. They tell us that by investing a little bit of time, it not only improves the lives of other people, but they also feel their own health and wellbeing improves. There is no greater reward than a strong and thriving community.
We would love you to join our patient group so we can improve our services for our community.
