Your Surgery Needs You

The Patient Participation Group (PPG) are patients and carers of patients registered at Burlington with an interest in their community and the services the practice provide. The aim of the PPG is to represent patients' views and embrace diversity to work in partnership with the practice to improve our services to you.

The PPG is a great way to be involved in the community and the practice as the PPG becomes the 'voice of patients' having a say in changes and decisions within the practice to improve the care we provide.

We need you to help us shape the services we deliver.

We would like to contact patients on occasion so that we can obtain your views and would like to obtain your email address and mobile phone number to do this; please complete the form below to provide consent for us to do this. Or if you would like to join our PPG meetings or have suggestions to improve our practice please let our reception team know or complete the form below.

JOIN THE PATIENT PARTICIPATION GROUP

The Objectives of the Group are:

  • To give practice staff and patients the opportunity to discuss topics of mutal interest in their practice
  • To provide means for patients to make positive sugestions about the practice and specific medical  conditions as an ‘expert or experienced patient’.
  • To encourage health education activities within the practice.
  • To develop self-help projects to meet the needs of fellow patients, such as befriending, help with transport and bereavement support.
  • To act as a representative group that can be called upon to influence the local provision of health and social care.
  • To involve further patients from the wider population.

Patient Participation Group (PPG) Projects

Our Patient Participation Group and Practice Staff are working hard together to run projects which will benefit our patients.

Our patient demographic is diverse and has complex mental, physical and social needs - which we strive to meet while taking into account the constraints of NHS budgets and capacity.
