What is the structure of the Patient Participation Group (PPG)?

We currently operate a combined PPG representing patients from both of our sites. The PPG consists of patient representatives from their patient group with an elected chairperson & secretary.  The Chair person is Mr Glyn Jones (email address glynandwendy@btopenworld.com).  Meetings can be attended by anyone registered with the practice. However, if you would like to contribute to the agenda, you should let the practice know and contact Glyn via his email address for more information and dates of future meetings.

We are particularly looking for younger members and patients who normally attend the Moss Valley site as we are currently under-represented in these groups.

When are PPG meetings held?

We aim to hold 5 meetings per year and these are normally alternated between our two sites. You can access the notes (or agenda) for each meeting, together with any relevant documents discussed at the meetings by clicking on the links below.

THE GREAT DRONFIELD GET 2GETHER

Dear Patient,

We would like to know how we can improve our service to you and how you perceive our surgery and staff. 

To help us with this, we are setting up a virtual patient representation group so that you can have your say. We will ask the members of this representative group some questions from time to time, such as what you think about our opening times or the quality of the care or service you received. We will contact you via email and keep our surveys succinct so it shouldn’t take too much of your time.

We aim to gather around a hundred patients from as broad a spectrum as possible to get a truly representative sample. We need young people, workers, retirees, people with long term conditions and people from non-British ethnic groups.

If you are happy for us to contact you occasionally by email please click the link below to open the sign-up form and complete all the fields.
