Patient Participation Group Toolkit
Our Patient Participation Group (PPG) Toolkit has been developed for GP practice staff, in particular those whose role includes responsibilities for patient, carer and public involvement and PPG members.
What is this toolkit for?
With the development of Primary Care Networks and Integrated Care Systems, there is an opportunity for Patient Participation Groups (PPG) to develop a greater role in influencing service change and development. This toolkit offers timely advice and guidance around establishing PPGs, how to develop your PPG further and some tools for engaging and involving patients, carers and the wider public.
