Pinehill Patient Participation Group

Pinehill Patient Participation Group was formed a few years ago. It is a group run by patients for patients on a voluntary basis. The group currently consists of several patients and the Practice Manager. Pinehill PPG meets once every 2 months.

Its aims are :

• To promote self help as a process to enable patients to develop a mutual interest in their primary health care at the surgery.
• To provide grass roots forums in the community for patients, careres and health service staff which will have benefits for all.
• Encourage effective communication between patients and health professionals.

It has been involved in

The PPG is currently looking for new members to join the group. Should you be interested, please email sehccg.pinehillsurgery@nhs.net or contact the Practice Manager.
