Today, Debbie Allen, PCN Clinical Services Manager, met with our Patient Participation Group (PPG) Chairs from each of our four member practices.

The session provided a valuable opportunity to share ideas, highlight the fantastic work already taking place within our PPGs, and strengthen collaboration across the network.

Discussions focused on several key areas, including:

Neighbourhood Health and strengthening community-based care
Our early cancer funding initiative, aimed at improving screening uptake and early diagnosis.
Tackling health inequalities within our local population
Preparations for Belper PCN’s upcoming engagement with local politicians next week

These conversations play an important role in ensuring patient voices continue to shape the services we deliver across Belper PCN.
We would like to thank our PPG Chairs for their ongoing commitment, insight, and dedication to improving patient care within our community.

Hearing real experiences can help others feel less alone, reduce fear, and encourage people to seek support and attend screening when invited.
