PPG October 8th Posted or Updated on 30 Jan 2026

Hello all!

Our next PPG is being held at:

Witham Leisure Centre, Wellness Room 

8th October 2025

4pm to 5:30pm

PPG stands for Patient Participation Group, which is a group of volunteer patients, carers, and practice staff who meet to discuss and provide feedback on the services at a GP surgery. These groups are a requirement for all GP practices and work to influence how services are delivered, improve patient experience, and act as a voice for the patient community.

Key functions of a PPG

• Improve services: 

  PPGs review and provide feedback on the practice's services, patient experience, and potential areas for improvement. 

• Influence decisions: 

  They can influence service development by participating in "commissioning decisions," ensuring changes are made in the best interest of patients.

• Enhance communication: 

  PPGs can help improve communication between the practice and its patients.

• Gather patient feedback: They conduct surveys or research to understand what matters most to patients and share the findings with the practice.
