Patient Participation Group

INTRODUCTION TO THE PPG

Our Patient Participation Group (PPG) was started in 2003 and aims to support the practice by:
  • Contributing to the content and design of patient education and literature
  • Helping with and/or organising extra services
  • Providing volunteers to help with specific practice activities
  • Providing an extra communication channel between practice staff and patients
  • Offering suggestions for practice improvements


All patients registered with the practice are eligible and encouraged to be in the PPG, to help with PPG activities and to put themselves up for election to the committee.
Some activities so far:

  • Awareness evenings - including Alzheimer's Disease and Drugs and Alcohol
  • Presentations - such as a presentation by a senior dietician on Diet, Healthy Eating and Diabetes and an evening with the Head of H.S.B.C. Technical Department on Wills and Power of Attorney.
  • Training events - including basic life support and resuscitation
  • AGM  

If you would like to contact or enquire joining your PPG, please use the form on the "Contact Us" tab above.
