Patient Participation Groups
The first Patient Participation Group was set up by a GP in 1972 and 41% of general practices in England now have a PPG. Generally made up of a group of volunteer patients, the practice manager and one or more of the GPs from the practice, they meet on a regular basis to discuss the services on offer, and how improvements can be made for the benefit of patients and the practice. For more information and to find out how you can get involved please go to the National Association of Patient Participation website.
Examples of active PPGs in Nottinghamshire are:

If you would like a LINk Community Engagement Worker to come and talk to your PPG about how you can work with Nottinghamshire County LINk please contact the host team on 01159629350 or email info@strongerlocalvoice.com.
