Patient Participation Group (PPG)

 

 

What is a Patient Participation Group (PPG)?

A Patient Participation Group (PPG) is a group of volunteer patients, carers, and practice staff who work together to support and improve services at the practice. PPGs help ensure that patients' views are heard and considered when developing and improving healthcare services. Since 2015, all NHS GP practices have been required to have a Patient Participation Group.

Any registered patient of Windrush Medical Practice aged 16 or over is welcome to join our PPG mailing list. Members receive our bi-monthly newsletter, updates on practice developments, and information about local health initiatives and services.

Our PPG Committee

The PPG Committee is made up of volunteer members who meet every two months with the Practice Management Team to discuss current services, share patient feedback, and explore opportunities for improvement.

Our aims are to:

  • Promote health and wellbeing within our patient community.
  • Represent the views and interests of all patients.
  • Ensure the patient voice is heard and helps inform decisions about local healthcare services.
  • Strengthen communication between the practice and its patients.
  • Support initiatives that improve patient experience and access to services.
