About the Patient Group

Patients are at the heart of all our activity and the hub of healthcare. Their viewpoint is an important part of the development of general practice. 

A Patient Participation Group (PPG) comprises patients, doctors and practice staff who communicate at regular intervals to consider ways of making a positive contribution to the services and facilities offered by the PCN to patients.

The Preston Park Community PCN PPG has a Committee including doctors, staff and patients who meet quarterly, currently online.

The overall aims of the Committee are to:

• Improve communication between the PCN and its patients
• Provide practical support for the PCN and help to implement change
• Help patients take more responsibility for their health

A summary of how PPGs make a difference has been produced by the National Association for Patient Participation (NAPP) and is available HERE
