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.
