Patient Participation Group

The PPG consists of a group of practice staff and patients who have an interest in health and social care issues and who want to get involved in decisions about the range and quality of services provided by the practice.

We would like to know how we can improve our service to you and how you perceive our surgery and staff. 

To help us with this, we have set up a patient participation group. We will ask the members of this representative group some questions from time to time, such as what you think about our opening times or the quality of the care or service you received. We will contact you via email and keep our surveys succinct so it shouldn’t take too much of your time.

We aim to gather around a hundred patients from 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.

Do you want to be involved?

Darwen Health Link is looking to re-establish its patient participation group (PPG) and are inviting patients aged over 21yrs to get in touch.

We need members who can voice their opinions, are passionate about their care and can make a real contribution to the way that the practice operates and conducts further innovation. We hope to do this through new and exciting initiatives whilst always keeping the patients needs at the forefront of everything. You will be integral to the future of the practice and an advocate for all patients making sure your voices are heard. 

Everyone over 21 yrs is welcome to enquire about how to join their PPG and remember this is your practice and your opinions matter !

If you are interested in joining the group please use the sign up link accross.
