Patient
Participation

Groups
(PPGs)

What
is
a
PPG?

A Patient Participation Group brings together volunteer patients and carers with representatives of the GP Practice to discuss how the Practice is run and what improvements could be made for everyone’s benefit. The overall aim of a PPG is to ensure that the patient voice is heard and improving health is at the heart of everything the Practice does.

Who
can
join
a
PPG?

Any patient can join the Patient Participation Group at the GP Practice where they are registered. Patients of all genders, ages, ethnicities, and those with health conditions and disabilities are encouraged to join so that the PPG is representative of the Practice population.

What
is
the
HCL
PPG?

Healthcare Central London is committed to providing community-led care. To achieve this, we need to understand the real-time needs of local residents when it comes to their health and wellbeing. By engaging with patients and carers who volunteer to join our PPG and discussing the services and experiences offered by the Federation and our member Practices, we can make improvements and better serve our communities.

Who
can
join
the
HCL
PPG?

Anyone over the age of 18 who is registered with a GP Practice who is a member of Healthcare Central London (find your Practice here) or who uses the HCL-led services at South Westminster Centre for Health can join the HCL PPG. We can provide interpreters at our PPG meetings.
