Patient Participation Group

The Aims of the 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. PPG's were developed as a way to extend patient involvement and is a format to encourage people to engage with both the NHS and their own health care. 
 
Only patients at Higham Ferrers Surgery can be members of the Higham Ferres PPG. Your experiences matter and you can bring different ideas to the surgery to help us treat patients better or to improve what we do in some way. You will also gain a better understanding of the NHS and gather feedback from other patients and the surgery.
 
If you would like to join our PPG or contact us in anyway please submit one of the forms via the links below.
