Patient Participation Group 
The Doctors at the Buntingford & Puckeridge Medical Practice are comitted to reviewing and improving the services provided and encourage patients to take an active interest in their healthcare.
We invite patients to work with the practice as part of a Patient Participation Group (PPG). This group meets regularly and enables us to gather the views of patients on the services currently provided as well as practical support in identifying where improvements are required.
The group will help us and our patients gain a clearer understanding of what health services are required. It will also help influence the decision making process when redesigning existing services and creating new health services locally, regionally and nationally.
The purpose of the group is about patients taking ownership and working with the practice to:
- advise the practice on what matters most to patients
- identify solutions to problems
- 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
- think about the wider patient interest and not just their own personal concerns
- always work constructively and positively, helping to identify solutions
- work in partnership with the practice and other local organisations
The group is not a:
- forum for individual complaints and single issues
- vehicle to resolve individuals own personal issues
- doctors’ fan club
