Patient Participation Group

The first Patient Participation Group was set up by a GP in 1972 and many general practices in England now have a PPG. Generally made up of a group of volunteer patients, the practice manager and one or more of the GPs from the practice, they meet on a regular basis to discuss the services on offer, and how improvements can be made for the benefit of patients and the practice.

If you would like to be a member of our PPG then please fill out the form below and email it over to nencicb-ng.bridgesmedicalpractice@nhs.net
