Patient Group

The Patient Participation Group (PPG) exists to engage patients with the Practice to improve its services for everyone. The PPG committee meets regularly – either virtually or in person – and includes representatives of the Practice. All registered patients over the age of 16 are welcome to attend meetings. If you would like to be updated about what is happening within the Practice, or let us know your views and any concerns, please give your details in our Contact Form below.
