Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) happens when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites change over time and no longer respond to medicines — making infections harder to treat.
Every one of us can help slow the spread of resistance.

HAVE YOUR SAY!

Join our Patient Participation Group (PPG)

Help shape the future of your GP Practice

Greyfriars Surgery are looking to revitalise our Patient Participation Group and we would like you to be part of it. The Group will bring together patients and Practice staff to discuss ideas, share feedback and promote health in our community.

You don’t need any special skills or experience, just an interest in helping the Surgery to improve services, support health and wellbeing projects, strengthen communication between patients and staff and share your feedback.
The PPG will meet every 3 months in person, and your involvement can be as flexible as you need.

If you are interested in joining, please speak to reception or complete the Patient Participation Group cards which you will find in Surgery on the reception desk.
