With the development of Primary Care Networks, there is an opportunity for Patient Participation Groups (PPG) to develop a greater role in influencing service change and development.
This toolkit was developed for NHS Newcastle Gateshead Clinical Commissioning Group (NGCCG). It 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.
Who should use this toolkit? This toolkit has been developed for GP practice staff, in particular those whose role includes responsibilities for patient, carer and public involvement and PPG members.
