bulletHealth Promotion e.g. stroke prevention, healthy eating
bulletVoluntary Activities e.g. setting up support groups

The work is carried out by a group of patients and practice staff who meet at regular interval to decide ways of making a positive contribution to the services and facilities offered by the practice to the patients.

For a PPG to be successful it is useful that it has representation from as diverse a group of patients as possible. For example we would love to see mothers who have young children and those with physical and mental health problems.

We meet every 2 months early in the evening. The meetings are very informal and last about 1 - 2 hours.
