Patient Participation Group

Our next meeting will be held on Tuesday 11th March at 5:30pm at Freshney Green Primary Care Centre.
If you wish to attend, please contact the practice to reserve your place.

An agenda will be available shortly.

Why have a PPG?

Patient participation can benefit both patients and practices. Having a PPG creates a connection between the practice and its patients; allowing open, constructive discussion and analysis of service provision and offering an alternative perspective on many of the topics relevant to general practice.

A PPG is a mechanism which at different times can represent the patient population to the practice and the practice to the wider community. PPGs can help the practice to account for its provision of healthcare through various mechanisms, with the outcomes being used to improve the quality and level of healthcare services and facilities.

Littlefield’s PPG has been well established for many years. We hold a total of four meetings a year.

For further details about the group please contact the practice.

What do PPGs do?

PPGs can give you an involvement with your practice and could give you a say in the workings of the Care Trust. These are some examples of what the group could be expected to be involved with:

  • consult and plan with patients whenever possible on the facilities and provision of services
  • bring a sense of ownership and partnership between practice staff and patients
  • give practice staff and patients the opportunity to discuss topics of mutual interest
  • allow patients to make positive suggestions about the practice and their own healthcare
  • develop self-help projects to meet the needs of fellow patients
  • To act as a representative group that can be called upon to influence the local provision of health and social care.
