The Patient Participation Group has been running in the practice for a number of years. It meets three times a year.

The Group discusses different issues affecting healthcare, access and service provision. It has made suggestions about improvements to the practice.

If you would like to become a member of the Patient Participation Group (PPG), please use the button at the top right of this page, telephone the surgery on 028 9028 6800 or email gp.z00114@gp.hscni.net

The aims of the Patient Participation Group (PPG) are as follows:

• To encourage a positive relationship between the patients and the surgery staff, both medical and administrative
• To have a voice for the patient in the practice
• To be realistic about what you can achieve and to look for small changes that can make a real difference
• To work constructively and positively to help identify solutions and to work in partnership with the practice and other local organisations
• Carrying out research to find out what matters to patients and discussing the findings with the practice
• To encourage patients to engage in their own healthcare

Each year we conduct a patient survery, the result of which are available by clicking on the tab above named "Patient Survery".
