It’s Patient Participation Group (PPG) Week – and we’ve got exciting news!

We’re relaunching our PPG and would love for you to be part of it. Our PPG was paused during COVID, but we’re now ready to bring it back, stronger and more connected than ever.

What is a PPG?
A Patient Participation Group is a way for patients to work together with the practice to:

-Offer feedback and ideas
-Help improve services and patient experience
-Share what matters most to you and your community
-Support local health initiatives

This is not a complaints group – it’s about positive collaboration and open conversation.

Who can join?
We’re looking for a mix of patients from both of our sites, from all backgrounds and age groups. Whether you’re a long-term patient or fairly new to us, your voice matters.

If you're interested in having your say and making a difference, please fill in this short form:
👉 https://forms.office.com/e/KS4JHqUU2y

Let’s shape the future of our practice – together.

OUR FLU CLINICS START WC 7TH OCTOBER

This year most eligible adults will be offered a flu vaccine from early October, which might be slightly later than in previous years. This is because the latest scientific evidence shows that protection from the flu vaccine decreases over time in adults. It is better to have the vaccine closer to when flu typically circulates.
