Patient Participation Group (PPG)
What is a Patient Participation Group (PPG)
Allows patients to offer their views, experiences, suggestions and ideas to the Practice through a strong and close working relationship between patients and the Practice and be an advocate for the practice where appropriate.
It is the patient voice representing the whole practice population, not personal or individual views and so must have a strategic and overarching focus.
Provides valuable patient experience feedback including views on telephone and on-line appointment systems, level and standard of service, access to the building, communicating with patients whilst helping to improve patients overall experience of the practice.
What a PPG does not do
- Deal with patient complaints
- Deal with personal medical issues
- Entitle members to preferential treatment
