Patient Participation Group
GIVING patients & practice staff A VOICE.
ABOUT THE PPG Group
The Patient Participation Group (PPG) gives patients the opportunity to play an active role in the Minehead Medical Practice, to bring patients’ experiences to the attention of the Practice, to receive news of developments and to respond to proposed changes in the ways of working.
The Group usually meets once every 3 months in person, but you can also attend these meetings on-line if you prefer. Interim meetings may be called if there is an urgent matter to consider. Meetings usually take about 1 hour.
Any patient is welcome to put themselves forward to join the PPG at any time.
