❓ What exactly is a Patient Participation Group?

If you've never heard of a Patient Participation Group - or PPG - before, you're certainly not alone.

Put simply, a PPG brings together patients and members of the practice team to work together to help improve local services and the patient experience.

But there's no one-size-fits-all PPG.

Depending on the practice, members might get involved in things such as:

💬 Sharing ideas and patient experiences
📣 Helping with communication and patient information
💡 Supporting health awareness campaigns
🤝 Getting involved in community activities
👂 Helping the practice understand the people and communities it serves

The important bit is that patients and practices work together.
And every PPG can look a little different.

Tomorrow, we'll take a closer look at what PPGs actually do.
