What is the Patient Participation Group (PPG)?

Thatcham Medical Practice PPG has operated for a number of years.

One of the Government’s initiatives is to have patients involved with the planning and running of all aspects of the NHS. GP practices are encouraged to form PPGs made up of patients and practice staff to act as a link.

PPG Objectives:

• Improve patient care and relations
• Act as a good communication tool and raise awareness
• Suggest change and address issues
• Act as a lobby group to Clinical Commissioning Group
• Promote good practice and healthcare

The PPG meets 6 times a year and all are welcome; dates and minutes of meetings can be found on the PPG notice board in the waiting room.
