Patient Participation Group

Dear Patient,

We would like to know how we can improve our service to you and how you perceive our surgery and staff.

We have an established Patient Participation Group (PPG) and are always interested in recruiting new members to ensure a representative group.

The PPG aims to act as the 'voice of patients', reflecting local views and opinions and thereby having a say in changes and decisions taken within the Practice.

The practice can also use the PPG as a 'sounding board' for new ideas we may wish to try. We will ask the members of this representative group some questions from time to time, such as what you think about our opening times or the quality of the care or service you received.

If you would like to join our Patient Participation Group and be invited to quarterly meetings held at the practice, please click the link and complete all fields and return to us or call 01634 719692 and speak to Maria. Thank you

Join now via our online form

We will be in touch shortly after we receive your form. Please note that no medical information or questions will be responded to.

Alternatively - we will contact you via email and keep our surveys succinct so it shouldn't take too much of your time.

We aim to gather around a hundred patients from as broad a spectrum as possible to get a truly representative sample. We need young people, workers, retirees, people with long term conditions and people from non-British ethnic groups.

If you are happy for us to contact you occasionally by email to forward you a survey to complete and send back to us, please click the link below to open the sign-up form and complete all the fields.

If you prefer, you can download the sign up form (PDF, 443KB), print it out, complete it and return it to the practice.

Virtual Patient Group

We realise that many patients are unable to attend meetings due to pressure from work or family commitments but may want to have a say in what we do. We need and value the input from a wide range of patients especially the ones who are too busy to attend.

Why not join our "virtual" community? We can keep in touch by email and you can play a very important role in our PPG. As a member of the Virtual Patient Group we will send you e-mail messages asking for your opinion on a range of topics. You decide how often and when you would like to answer.

Get involved from the comfort of your own home!

If this approach appeals to you, then please see our short form which can be completed online or downloaded and sent to the surgery. There are also copies available at Reception.
