Patient Participation Group

Woodlands has always had a PPG group. Initially members were recruited from a randomised mailing list and responded accordingly.

The current members of our patient participation group were mainly recruited during year 2011-2012. And we have recently increased the group size through advertising in newsletters and in the surgery.

Patient representatives are almost evenly split between male and female. They are all patients of various doctors in our practice. They range from new members to ones who have been with us since the group began. The age range tends to range between middle aged to elderly. There are patients who have long term conditions as well as those who are just interested in participating in this way. We would like to recruit some y members and will always welcome younger members to increase our demographics.
