Patient Participation Group

We are seeking patients who would like to join our Patient Participation Group (PPG)

What is Ashby Turn Primary Care Centre PPG?
The PPG is a group of volunteer patients registered with Ashby Turn Primary Care Centre who have no medical training but have an interest in the provision of local health services. PPGs are independent groups who take an interest in their local practice and health services in general.

What is the purpose of this PPG?
• To give patients the opportunity to provide feedback to the practice
• To represent the views of patients
• To provide a confidential space for all patients to voice their concerns
• To encourage activities and events within the practice
• To develop projects that help other patients, such as befriending, help with transport and bereavement support
• To gather feedback on health services in the area
• To help patients understand the challenges faced in general practice

“A PPG is a group of people who work with their practices to provide practical support, to help patients to take more responsibility for their own health, and to provide strategic input and advice. They are based on cooperation between the practice staff and patients. They help to improve communication and engagement.”
