MEDICAL GROUP PATIENT PARTICIPATION GROUP
THE PATIENT PARTICPATION GROUP (PPG)
HAS EXISTED FOR JUST OVER 1 YEAR AND HAS AIMS INCLUDING THOSE BELOW:
1 To facilitate and enable dialogue between patients and the practice team and
promote patient involvement in the Practice.
2 To provide a framework for the input of information relating to health commissioning
priorities.
3 To ensure patients’ needs are considered in the development of Practice systems e.g.
appointment systems.
4 To review and where appropriate provide advice and recommendations on patient surveys.
OUR ACHIEVEMENTS INCLUDE:
1 Notice boards, suggestion boxes and leaflet racks put up in the waiting rooms in both
surgeries – July 2010 and September 2011
2 PPG WordPress site: wwwlangtonppg.wordpress.com – June 2010
This free web site is run by the PPG. We welcome comments from patients and/or carers about the Practice and the local health service – it’s free to look at it and post comments.
3 Alcohol tissue sachets at Lichfield reception for staff to clean the patient check – in screen, approximately every hour, and available to patients if they wish to clean the screen before they use it –
