Patient Participation Group

Patients, Your Surgery Needs You!!

As a patient of Orchid House Surgery you are automatically a member of our Patient Participation Group after registration and we value your constructive input.

The group is run by a volunteer committee working in close liaison with the doctors and practice manager.

We aim to gather around as broad a spectrum as possible to get a truly representative sample. We need Young people, workers, retirees, people with long term conditions and people from non-British ethnic groups.

We may also meet face to face every quarter to discuss certain topics or provide information on changes within the NHS and how this may affect the practice and patients.  We will send invitations to these meetings via email.

The group can work with the practice to help all patients to take responsibility for their own health, that of their family and the health of the wider community.
