PPGs can play a number of roles, including:
- Advising the practice on the patient perspective
- Organising health promotion events
- Communicating with the wider patient body
- Running volunteer services and support groups to meet local needs
- Carrying out research into the views of those who use the practice (and their carers)
- Fundraising to improve the services provided by the practice
- Influencing the practice or the wider NHS to improve commissioning
The group meets on a regular basis here at the practice, participants also attend larger cluster meetings where other PPG’s from Leigh practices meet and discuss developments.
