| New Registrations: Our registration form includes an option to join a Patient Participation Group (PPG). While we do not currently have a PPG, we do have a Patient Reference Group (PRG). If you selected this option when registering, you will have been added to our PRG. |
What is The Patient Reference Group? (PRG)
The Patient Reference Group (PRG) is an online group of volunteer patients working with the practice, giving a patient’s perspective. They give constructive feedback; help engage with the community and work with the practice on the development of services.
The group is based virtually, mainly over SMS (although arrangements can be made if you do not use a smartphone), and there is no obligation to participate on every occasion.
This group can also link into the local and influential ‘HealthWatch’, to help shape other healthcare services in our local area.
The group is not a forum for complaints, personal issues; nor is it a doctor’s fan club.
