The PPG is a group of local people registered at the surgery who act as the “patient voice” of every registered patient. They help patients have a voice in the way services are delivered. Members of the group are volunteers who have a keen interest in the health and well-being of themselves, their families and the wider community. They give 2-3 hours a month to share their patient experiences, organize health and well-being events, research the views of others who use the service and fundraise for some services.
The PPG initiate local surveys, assisted with covid and flu vaccination clinics, suggest changes to the content on the information screens and signage in the foyer and discussions have led to the appointment of Health and Well-being Staff. They work closely with the PPGs in Helsby and Elton and are part of the Cheshire West Chairs Group.
