Patient Participation Group (PPG)

 

BACK TO MAIN INDEX

 

What is the PPG?

The PPG is a group of patients of all ages working voluntarily in partnership with Gillingham Medical Practice to enable the Practice team to provide services that reflect what patients want and need. 

                   

 

 

The PPG meet with Practice staff to learn about new developments at the surgery, to discuss current issues of concern, and areas for improvement to ensure that Gillingham Medical Practice continues to provide a high-quality primary care service.

PPG members do not have to attend every meeting as there is a Steering Group that oversees the work of the PPG, which you can choose to be part of or not depending on how much you would like to be involved. 

 

What do we do?

  • Maintain good relationships between patients and Practice staff
  • Enable patients and Practice to share their views about services available at the Practice 
  • Promote positive public health messages and lifestyle choices
