What is a Patient Participation Group //

 

The Patient Participation Group (PPG) is a group of patients who are registered at Biggleswade or Langford surgeries who have no medical training but have an interest in the services provided.

 

The aim of the PPG is to represent patients' views and cross barriers, embracing diversity and to work in partnership with the surgery to improve common understanding.

 

Some of our activities you will know about but we will include them in the list that follows:

 

 

• Organising Health knowledge events such as the Diabetes.

 

• Assistance is given to the Practice staff on the Annual Flu Clinic days.

 

• The Group were involved in the recent Patient survey.

 

• We are involved in the preparation of the Practice newsletter.
