Our Patient Participation Group (PPG) meets to provide a forum for discussion about the practice.

A message from the PPG Chair

ppg chair

My name is Mary-Ellen Westwood. My family and I have been patients at Mayfield Surgery for over 25 years. I am the new Chairman of Mayfield's Patient Participation Group. You may not have heard of a PPG.  We had an active group pre Covid but weren't able to meet again until after this and are keen to get active again with our fellow patients.

I would like to encourage you to become involved. Our role is to act as a critical friend to the practice. We are part of a larger group of surgeries in our area. Chartfield Surgery, Healthbridge Practice and Tudor Health Centre. Our aim is the represent the diverse views of all out fellow patients and to help our doctors and the rest of the teams give us all the bes possible service.

Looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible very soon.

Mary-Ellen

If you are interested in giving your feedback about local health programmes or services at the surgery, learning about changes in your local services, or participating in health campaigns in your community - we encourage you to join our Patient Participation Group (PPG).

We aim to have a group that is representative of the different views and opinions among our patients. Therefore we welcome new participants of any age, gender or ethnicity.

If you think you might be interested or would like to be updated on the activities and meetings of the PPG, please complete the online form below. This does not mean you have to attend the meetings, but we will keep you up-to-date on any activities and inform you about upcoming meetings so that you can attend if you are available.

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.

If you are happy for us to contact you occasionally by email please complete this form.
