Patient Participation Group
For a number of years the doctors and staff at Bredon Hill Surgery have been supported by a group of patient volunteers who make up the Patient Participation Group – PPG. There is no restriction on who can be a member of the group, or of how many members we can have – all you need to be is a patient of the practice, or the carer of a patient registered with the practice.
We aim to meet four times a year, usually on a Monday evening as this has been the most acceptable time for those who attend. Meetings are friendly informal and usually last for about an hour and a half. Most of the agenda items are set by the practice but we encourage group members to raise their own questions so that these can be explored and responded to. However, we cannot discuss individual patients or concerns about their specific care.
Ideally the group should have members of all ages, backgrounds and from all parts of the practice area. New members are always welcome and if you would like to know more about what is involved, please contact Cher Pickford, PPG Secretary (01684 773444 or SOWOCCG.bredonhillsurgery@nhs.net) or Elaine Cantle, Chairman, (07730 810507, tyler631@btinternet.com)
