Patient group

We have an active patient participation group at Birchwood surgery.

At Birchwood and Sollershott Surgery we want to work with our patients to provide the best care and support we can, and our Practice Patient Group (PPG) helps with this.

We encourage our registered patients and carers to join our Patient Participation Group (PPG) who we are inviting to attend friendly quarterly meetings with practice staff to drive the PPG forward with its initiatives and strive to further improve our services.

The role of the PPG includes:

  • being a critical friend to the practice;
  • advising the practice on the patient perspective and providing insight into the Responsiveness and quality of services;
  • encouraging patients to take greater responsibility for their own and their family’s health;
  • carrying out research into the views of those who use the practice;
  • organising health promotion events and improving health literacy;
  • regular communication with the patient population.
