Patient Participation Group
Would you like to influence positive change within your health care community?
A Patient Participation Group (PPG) is a group of patients and healthcare professionals who work together to improve and promote the quality of healthcare services within General Practice. The primary aim of a PPG is to ensure that the healthcare services provided meet the needs of patients and are responsive to their concerns and preferences.
