Patient Participation Group (PPG)

Who are we?

We are a group of volunteers who are patients at Mattishall and Lenwade Surgeries.

What do we do?

We meet on a regular basis together with health professionals to ensure that patients are given a ‘voice’ within the GP practice.  We currently meet every two months but keep in contact via a WhatsApp group and emails.

It is the PPG’s responsibility to ensure that plans, services and activities respond to the patient’s priorities and needs.

We will act as a critical friend to Mattishall and Lenwade Surgeries.

Benefits of a PPG?

  • Improved communications between patients and staff
  • The PPG provides a way for the practice to test ideas and suggestions to the patients
  • The patient’s view will always be represented in local health care
  • Patients will have an organisation through which they can help others in need

Patients will be able to use the PPG to suggest positive ideas and voice concerns
