Patient Groups 

Most GP practices in Sutton have a PPG (Patient Participation Group). Patients meet with their Practice staff to provide feedback on the Practice’s services. Please contact your Practice if you’re interested in joining. 

Each PPG also sends delegates to the PRG (Patient Reference Group). The PRG meet once every two months and give feedback to professionals from a variety of local health and care services. If you’re interested in joining the PRG, please speak to your Practice’s PPG. 

Healthwatch supports the PRG by booking rooms, taking minutes, inviting speakers and so forth. Please contact us for the minutes of previous PRG meetings.

Information services 

We regularly post information on Facebook and on X/Twitter. We send out a monthly email newsletter about our work and other health issues relevant to local people. We post out a twice-yearly printed newsletter to people who don’t have email.

Integrated Neighbourhood Teams 

Local GPs and community groups in Sutton meet regularly in Integrated Neighbourhood Teams. We attend these meetings as a key part of liaising with local NHS and voluntary sector colleagues.

Outreach sessions 

We regularly attend a wide range of community events to promote our work and get feedback from local people about health and care services in Sutton.
