Do you want to have your say about our services? 

Non-urgent advice: Notice

We apologise for the short notice cancellation of the Patient Participation Group meeting on 17th September 2024 due to staff sickness. We will announce the new date as soon as possible.

New Road Surgery is relaunching the Patient Participation Group (PPG), which is open to all registered patients. We encourage people of all ages, genders, ethnicities, and abilities who are interested in healthcare services to join and get involved.

How does the PPG work?

The Patient Participation Group (PPG) is led by a volunteer Chair and Secretary, and they meet with practice representatives up to four times a year, either virtually or in person. These meetings offer a chance for valuable feedback on local healthcare services.

Minutes from the meetings, information about events, and important healthcare updates will be posted in the dedicated PPG section of the practice website.

What are the key benefits of an effective PPG?

  • Building good relationships: We aim to create opportunities for patients and the practice to work well together by sharing patient experiences, giving helpful feedback, and working as a team to improve services and facilities for everyone.
  • Raising awareness: We want to help people learn about healthcare campaigns and programmes that benefit the community, sharing information about new ideas to make healthcare better.
  • Support networks: We aim to develop supportive connections between patients and the practice to help each other.

How to get involved?

Any patient can express interest in joining the Patient Participation Group (PPG).

Being part of a PPG can be a rewarding experience. By getting involved, you’ll be helping the practice improve and develop healthcare services for the future.
