A Patient Participation Group (PPG) is a group of patients registered at a GP practice who work in partnership with the practice team (GPs, nurses, and management) to help improve local healthcare services.
PPGs are supported nationally by organizations such as the NHS England and are encouraged in GP practices across the UK.
In simple terms, a PPG gives patients a voice in how their GP practice is run.
A PPG typically:
Shares patient feedback with the practice
Helps improve access to services
Suggests ideas for service development
Reviews patient surveys and experience data
Supports health promotion campaigns
Provides insight into community needs
PPGs do not deal with individual complaints or personal medical issues. Instead, they focus on improving services for all patients.
Getting involved in a PPG allows you to:
You can influence decisions about appointment systems, communication methods, and new services.
PPGs aim to reflect the diversity of the practice population — different ages, backgrounds, and health needs.
Your input can help make services more accessible, efficient, and patient-friendly.
You’ll better understand the challenges GP practices face and how decisions are made.
Even small suggestions can lead to meaningful improvements in care delivery.
Any patient registered with the practice can usually join. You do not need medical knowledge — just an interest in improving services.
PPGs often offer:
In-person meetings (quarterly)
Virtual meetings
Online/email feedback groups for those unable to attend meetings
Time commitments are usually minimal. Many PPGs meet 3–4 times per year, and some members contribute through email or surveys only.
Yes. Members are expected to respect confidentiality and professional boundaries. Personal medical information is never discussed.
If you are interested:
Speak to reception staff
Visit the practice website (PPG sign up)
Ask for details at your next appointment
A Patient Participation Group is a simple but powerful way for patients to:
Be heard
Influence change
Support better healthcare for everyone
If you care about how your GP practice operates and want to contribute to positive change, joining the PPG is an excellent place to start.

Wellbeing Matters is led by Salford CVS, the support organisation for the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector. Wellbeing Matters includes a social prescribing approach that links statutory health and care services to the VCSE sector. The aim is to support people to connect to local community assets to support their wellbeing and independence, reducing the need for intervention by health and care services.
Social prescribing, sometimes called a community referral, is a means of enabling GPs, nurses and other primary care professionals to refer people to a range of local, non-clinical services. Recognising that people’s health is determined primarily by a range of social, economic and environmental factors, social prescribing seeks to address people’s needs in a holistic way. It also aims to support individuals to take greater control of their own health. Social prescribing schemes can involve a variety of activities which are typically provided by voluntary and community sector organisations. Examples include volunteering, arts activities, group learning, gardening, befriending, cookery, healthy eating advice and a range of sports. Social Prescribing is listed as one of the ten high impact actions in the NHS England General Practice forward view.
