The key purpose of the PPG is to gain patients views and suggestions on practice services and give constructive feedback to the practice.  Patient confidentality is maintained by the PPG in discussion of issues raised by patients and in feedback to the practice.

The PPG produces a quarterly newsletter with practice and PPG news which is available in the practice and on the lastest news page of our website.  The group meets four times a year and is a member of the National Association for Patient Participation. 

New PPG members are welcome.  If you’d like to know more about the PPG or have any queries, suggestions or concerns about the practice or local health services you’d like to raise with the PPG, don’t hesitate to contact us – by letter care of the practice or email janicewingett@greenwichhouse.co.uk 

Suggestions for future newsletter articles are also welcome.

Chair of the PPG is Janice Wingett
