Patient Participation Groups
Patient Participation Groups (PPGs) are collaborative forums that bring together patients and healthcare providers, typically within a primary care setting like a doctor's office. These groups aim to enhance communication, gather feedback, and involve patients in decisions regarding their healthcare services. By sharing insights and suggestions, patients help shape local health services, improve patient experiences, and address specific community health needs. PPGs foster a more responsive healthcare environment by ensuring that patient voices are heard and considered in service planning and delivery.
