Celebrating Patient Participation Group (PPG) Awareness Week 2025!

I was re-elected as Chair for a second term in January 2025 for the next two years. I have been a member of the PPG for over 10 years.

We have a strong team of over 20 members from throughout the area our surgery covers and would welcome new members. We meet by-monthly at 5pm on a Tuesday evening throughout the year.

A bit about what we do…

• We work closely with the practice manager and staff of the practice and our GP’s attend our meetings.
• We act as critical friend to the practice.
• We look out for new services that our practice would benefit from.
• We welcome ARRS funding to enable new initiatives within our surgery.
• We have close links with our local community of Swineshead where there has been a surgery since 1948.
• Our surgery still delivers medication to the housebound throughout the area they cover.
• We have an excellent relationship with practices staff who are very kind and helpful.

We are looking forward to the year ahead and working with the surgery and developing new initiatives to support the wellbeing of patients.
