The practice has continued to work very closely with our Patient Participation Group. We are extremely proud to have such a committed and dynamic group who have not only put time and effort into our Patient Group but have also represented us and the Upper Lea Valley Locality at various events throughout the year.
The PPG meet every two months with representatives of the surgery and manage most of the administrative work associated with the group, for example minutes of the meetings, communicating with all PPG members, organising events, obtaining patient feedback and comments. Our Acting Chair is Veronica Fraser.
In 2018 our PPG Members contributed to our Care Quality Commission (CQC) report.
We are happy to welcome new members to both groups
