Patient Participation Group

The Pembridge Villas Surgery would like to invite its patients to join their Patient Participation Group.  

Our Patient Participation Group is a small group of patients and GP practice staff who meet to discuss ways to contribute to the shaping of the health services provided in the community, share information and gain the patient perspective on how we provide our services.

This is particularly important, with the new changes being made to the NHS, in helping us deliver services by placing the patient voice at the centre.

We feel that you have the knowledge, passion and capability to represent our patient population, and hope that you will consider being a member of the group.

We would greatly appreciate your support.

Meetings

We meet 4 times a year.

Join the PPG

If you are interested in joining our PPG, please contact the Reception Team on 0207 727 2222 and leave your contact details.

Feedback

In order to help us understand and monitor our patients' experience within the surgery, it would be helpful if patients could use the link below to give us feeback.
