Additional information
- The PPG is a consultative group. This means that it cannot make decisions on behalf of the surgery. However, the surgery will take the PPG’s views into account when making decisions about its services.
- The PPG is independent of the surgery. This means that it is not controlled by the surgery and is free to express its own views.
We hope you will consider joining the PPG and helping us to make our surgery the best it can be.
