HOW CAN PATIENTS HAVE THEIR SAY...

The Practice would like to invite patients of Leek Health Centre to join our Patient Participation Group (PPG). The aims and objectives of a PPG are:

To give patients and health professionals the opportunity to meet to discuss topics of mutual interest

Opportunity for patients to make positive suggestions about the Practice and their own health care

Encourage health education activities

Develop self help projects to meet the needs of fellow patients

Act as representatives to attempt to influence the provisions of health and social care

Fund raising

Membership of the group would be voluntary and involve organising and attending regular meetings (meeting room to be supplied by the Practice). The PPG will provide important feedback to the Practice, encourage networking with other local service providers and engage health care professionals by invitation to the meetings. If you are interested in setting up and being involved with a patient led participation group and are registered as a patient at Leek Health Centre, please contact (in writing): Miss Laura Jackson, Office Manager, Leek Health Centre, Fountain Street, Leek, Staffs, ST13 6JB
