To better support GP practices and patients, we are doing a review of patient participation groups (PPG) across Kent. This can help find out which GP practices have a PPG, how they function and to highlight any support needed.

👉Fill in this short survey: https://www.haveyoursayinkentandmedway.co.uk/patient-participation-groups/surveys/patient-participation-group-review

A Patient Participation Group (PPG) is a group made up of patients, carers, and members of staff from a GP practice. The groups make sure that the patient voice is heard in decision-making.
