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 social care services.
Healthwatch Sutton supports the PRG by arranging speakers, taking minutes, organising meetings and so forth. Please see below for the minutes of recent PRG meetings:
If you’re interested in joining the PRG, please contact Healthwatch Sutton.
