Patient Participation Group (PPG)

Next meeting: Tuesday 27th March, 2012 at 6.30pm at Old Hall Surgery. Venue: Old Hall Surgery

Old Hall Surgery launched the group in June 2011. The aims of the Patient Participation Group (PPG) are as follows: To encourage a positive relationship between the patients and the surgery staff, both medical and administrative To have a voice for the patient in the practice To organise information sessions on medical and related topics of interest to patients To help with the organisation of self help groups for patients To help raise funds for the purchase of extra equipment requested by the professional medical team To be realistic about what you can achieve and to look for small changes that can make a real difference To work constructively and positively to help identify solutions and to work in partnership with the practice and other local organisations Carrying out research to find out what matters to patients and discussing the findings with the practice To encourage patients to engage in their own healthcare

The PPG is run by a small committee of patients and practice staff and is essentially whatever the patients would like it to be.  We are always keen to hear from patients who would be willing to devote a little time to helping the PPG – either as a committee member, or with the organisation and running of events, or have ideas for information sessions and events. If you are interested please download the application form.

The PPG is NOT, however, a channel for complaints. There is a system in place for dealing with any complaints you may have, details of which you can read here.

Details of events organised by the PPG will be displayed on the practice notice board in the waiting room of the surgery, or ask at Reception for more details.

If you are interested in taking part in our group, or would like more information about anything we do please contact us at Old Hall Surgery. The Patient participation group e-mail address is wc-pct.ppgohs@nhs.net.  Please note that no medical information or questions will be responded to from this e-mail address.

If you would like us to keep you up to date please download and complete the contact sheet (Microsoft Word) or ask for a copy at reception.

Meetings will be held every 2 months (or more often if deemed necessary) these last for about an hour and half.  Minutes of meetings will be available on the web site and from the Surgery.
