Patient Participation Group (PPG)

 

The Patient Participation Group (PPG) has been active since 2015.

Currently, we have over 380 members. It is a dynamic group; as soon as there are five interesting things to tell you which involve our practice and the local NHS, an electronic bulletin is sent. These include:

  • Notification of events (some really interesting health related talks, a recruitment day for the ambulance service and an opportunity to have your say on local changes to the services in Witney);
  • Opportunities take part in surveys – a recent one focused local GP services;
  • Queries from you, the patients, about issues such as transport, waste medication, facilities at the practice, etc which we are keen to address.
  • Feedback from NAPP (National Association for Patient Participation) which provides useful information from a national perspective.
  • Information regarding activities for health orientated issues locally

Our electronic members tell us:

  • “A great bulletin – free of jargon. I like it!”
  • “I think it’s great the way you keep us all abreast of useful information in such a friendly manner”
  • “Thank you for all your work writing these bulletins during the year. I find them interesting and informative.”

For our patients who do not have modern technology, we will be producing regular printed PPG updates, which will be available in a paper version in the waiting room.
