| The Local Patient Participation Group was founded
in 1998 and serves a number of roles for the community.
It holds it's AGM every November where patients
have the chance to elect committee members. The
PPG publishes a quarterly newsletter - Good Health
- which is delivered door to door throughout most
of the practice catchment area.
The PPG organises focus groups from time to time,
with speakers addressing a variety of health issues.
A health information service run by the PPG is based
at the Health Centre, helping patients find out
more about a number of illnesses and conditions.
Beyond it's varied activities the PPG provides
a body through which doctors and other
members of the staff can consult patients'
views and opinions. Whilst the PPG is
not here to deal with specific complaints,
it can also provide a forum for all patients
to share comments and questions about
the healthcare services we provide.
All patients of Steyning Health Centre are members
of the PPG by right.
If you would like to know more about
the PPG or wish to communicate with us via
the forum, please contact the Chairman,
June kennard, on 01903 812600.
We at Steyning Health Centre would
like to take the opportunity to put into
black and white our gratitude to the PPG
for it's stirling efforts and assistance. |
