Langport Surgery Patient Participation Group (PPG)
Langport Surgery Patient Participation Group (PPG) is a member of the national association of patient participation groups.
What is a Patient Participation Group?
As a patient of Langport Surgery you can have a view on the things that matter in your health service.
Langport Surgery’s patient participation group is a selection of patients and practice staff who meet at regular intervals to decide ways of making a positive contribution to the services and facilities offered by the practice to the patients.
How do the Langport Surgery PPG contribute to the Surgery?
They provide a voice for patient feedback, raise awareness on issues that affect the surgery and its patients, promote patient health education and fundraise for materials/events that benefit the patients of Langport Surgery.
Langport Surgery PPG has funded the purchase of equipment such as otoscopes, blood glucose monitors and blood pressure machines for our Trainee GPs, medical equipment for our Nursing Team, resuscitation educational sessions for staff as well as provided support at Patient Education Evenings.
You can find more information on upcoming Patient Education Evenings HERE.
The aims of this group are:
- to give practice staff and patients the opportunity to discuss topics of mutual interest in their practice
- to provide the means for patients to make suggestions about the practice and their own healthcare
- to encourage health education activities within the practice
- to develop self-help projects to meet the needs of fellow patients
- to act as a representative group that can be called on to influence the local provision of health and social care
