Patient Participation Group - Tipton

Report - 17 September 2018

Healthwatch Sandwell (HWS) are conducting a survey of all General Practitioner (GP) Practices to find out their patients’ and visitors’ knowledge, awareness and involvement in each practice’s Patient Participation Group (PPG).

During June 2018 HWS visited all the GP Practices in Tipton to complete a short survey with patients and visitors to the Practice. The survey found that knowledge of the PPG varied across the practices. At least one person in every Surgery visited knew what a PPG was, with one Practice having a third of those surveyed knowing what a PPG was.
