Patient Participation Group
Rutland House and Queens Avenue Practices combined their two Patient Participation Groups (PPG) in 2021, following the merger of the two practices.
Our Patient Participation Group (PPG) meets to provide a forum for discussion about the practice.
What is the Patient Participation Group (PPG)?
The Patient Participation Group is a partnership between patients and the practice. The Patient Participation Group brings together patients who want to work with us to keep improving the service we offer. We would like to know how you see our surgery and staff and your ideas for the development of the service. We want to get the widest range of views so encourage everyone to sign up.
Every patient who wishes it can have a voice through the Patient Participation Group. Some members want to attend meetings. Some may just want to receive news and notifications of events. There will be an open meeting for all patients once a year which may be online. There may be opportunities to join working groups or events may be organised on subjects that are of special interest to you.
What does the PPG do?
The members of the current two Patient Participation Group meet periodically with the doctors and other practice staff to:
- Exchange information
- Provide feedback from patients
- Suggest changes to aspects of the service that patients may have found difficult
- Comment on practice changes and plans
Some changes that have been made as a result of Patient Participation Group suggestions include:
- Improvements in booking appointments at Rutland House Surgery
- Reduction in delays to online repeat prescriptions at QA
Both Patient Participation Group's have had working groups to pursue issues in greater depth, one on issues connected with the merger at Rutland House Surgery and one on improved information for patients on the practice website at QA.
Other local Patient Participation Group's have developed voluntary activities for practice patients another option is health promotion and the encouragement of self-care where appropriate. Rutland House Surgery will have a new Patient Participation Group so this is an exciting time to get involved and set priorities for the patient group.
Can anyone join the Patient Participation Group?
