Patient Participation Group
There are a variety of ways you can get involved and help improve the services you receive. You can join our patient participation group or simply fill in a Friends & Family Test questionnaire with feedback.
Membership
All patients and staff of Plowright Medical Centre are eligible to join. It costs nothing and yet members have much to gain and/or contribute.
Activities
The categories of the PPG’s activities include:
- Looking after the community by drawing attention to strengths and weaknesses in the provision of health care in our local area.
- Look after patients by arranging talks on health matters of interest to all sections of the community.
- Look after the practice by providing feedback to, and interchange views with, the medical and non-medical staff attached to the surgery.
- Clarify, where possible, the mixed messages issued by the media on the changing to NHS provision and general health care in the local area.
Interaction
As this is a virtual group, a majority of interaction will be via one of the following channels:
- Mobile SMS Text
- Telephone
- Post
However, if there is sufficient interest, it is muted that once or twice per year that an actual meeting is held where talks of interest could be arranged.
