Patient Participation Group

What is a Patient Participation Group?

The Harlequin Surgery has a face to face patient participation group.

This is a group of patients working with a practice to:

  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of services
  • Foster improved communication between the practice and its patients
  • Help patients to take more responsibility for their health
  • Provide practical support and help to implement change
  • Each group determines its own activities according to the needs of the community and the practice itself
  • Patient participation group’s work by building a relationship between the practice and its patients that breaks down barriers and shares information
  • Patient participation group’s can develop to influence the wider NHS

We are re-evaluating the areas for improvement this year. We welcome patients to join our patient group and have your opportunity to put forward your comments and suggestions.
