Patient Participation Group (PPG)

What is the PPG?

The Kirkham Health Centre PPG is a forum for patients to communicate with the practice and offers patients the opportunity to put forward their views and suggestions. 

It meets regularly to decide ways of making a positive contribution to the services and facilities offered by the surgery to its patients. We want more patients to get involved and help improve the delivery of health services, as well as make a difference to their local community.

The PPG is made up of volunteers interested in healthcare issues and can include members of practice staff. The virtual PPG also exists for individuals who are unable to attend regular meetings but keen to be involved in a patient group to have their say on healthcare services.

PPG survey results 2018

During the week beginning 3 September 2018, the PPG carried out a survey of KHC patients. This was done by PPG volunteers attending the surgery on all five mornings and three afternoons of that week and handing out questionnaires to those patients with appointments to see either a GP or a nurse.
