Patient Participation

What is a Patient Participation Group?

A Patient Participation Group (PPG) is a group of people who are patients of the surgery and want to help it work as well as it can for patients, doctors and staff. The NHS requires every practice to have a PPG.

Trent View Patient Participation Group

The aim of the Trent View Medical Practice (TVMP) Patient Participation Group (PPG) is to ensure patients and carers are involved in decisions about the range, shape and quality of services provided by their practice.

The TVMP PPG meets every two months to encourage engagement and discuss a wide range of patient ideas and improvements.

If you would like more information about the TVMP Patient Participation Group or are interested in becoming a member of the group, please email: NL.B81065@nhs.net and put 'PPG' in the email subject title, or leave your name and contact details with reception. Arrangements will be made for the Chair of the group, or another member, to contact you.
