Chillington Health Centre – Patient Participation Group

Chillington PPG are volunteers who meet regularly with the practice manager and one of the doctors. The group discusses the services available and how changes can be made for the benefit of patients and the practice. If you would like to know more or join the group, please read on.

Here is an update from Chillington Health Centre: 

Any Chillington patient – or their carer – can become a member of the PPG.  The role includes:

  • Acting as a critical friend to the practice
  • Advising on the patient perspective
  • Providing insight into the responsiveness and quality of services
  • Research into patient views
  • Communication with patients

A Facebook Group (www.facebook.com/groups/755768929916560/) provides a virtual platform if you are interested but don’t feel you could commit to meetings in person at the Health Centre.  We’re aiming to post regularly about health and wellbeing issues relevant to our community.

You may also have met some members of the PPG marshalling at vaccination clinics. We can always use extra help for this, especially in the car park.  And there might be other roles you feel you could contribute: help with IT or social media perhaps.

This is a welcoming, inclusive group for everyone.  The only requirement is that members should be committed to open, respectful, and constructive discussion – this is not a forum for complaints about the practice or discussion of personal health issues.  Any such issues should be addressed directly with the surgery.

It you’d like to join us, or ask us to raise an issue, or have an idea you’d like to discuss, please use the contact details below to get in touch.
