What is the Patient Participation Group ( PPG)?
The Patient Participation Group is made up of a group of patients and staff who meet regularly, creating a direct link between patients and staff and the services provided by the Practice. The group provides a forum for patients to raise issues, discuss developments and contribute to the decision making to improve services within the surgery. It is not a forum where individuals are able to raise individual concerns or complaints.
The Baildon Medical Practice PPG
This was established in 2011. Currently the group is made up of nine patient members, one Doctor, and the Practice Manager.
Meetings are held at the surgery three times a year. Informal meetings are held between these scheduled meetings in order to discuss agendas, matters arising and event planning.
The group has organised a number of events :
| Healthy Hearts |

| Dementia Day |
2017 |
| Dementia Play (Lost in Memories) |

To consider suggestions related to the service provided by the Practice which might be of further benefit to the patients.
