Community Partners

 

Patient participation groups

All 5 practices within the WEB PCN have a Patient Participation Group (PPG) which comprises of patient volunteers working with practice staff and GPs to work together on improving patient services. They aim to establish partnerships between patients, doctors and staff to enhance the services provided by the practice.

In support of these groups there is a WEB PPG’s Chairs Group that come together to share views and ideas.
