PATIENT PARTICIPATION GROUP (PPG)
WHO WE ARE
The Rudgwick Medical Centre PPG was reformed in 2023 to provide a link between the Practice and patients after Covid. Due to members commitments we are pleased to advise we have re-established a PPG group in 2026.
We welcome new members to join both the face to face and virtual groups.
WHAT ARE OUR AIMS
To provide feedback from the local community and act as the voice of the village.
To improve communication between the practice, patients and wider community.
To keep patients informed about changes, updates and developments within the practice.
To identify areas where the surgery could improve.
To help patients understand the services available and how to access them.
To offer constructive feedback and ideas on behalf of other patients.
To support improvements in healthcare and the development of new services.
To encourage patients to take an active role in their health and social care.
WHAT WE DO
We hold regular meetings with the practice and deputy practice managers to discuss matters raised by patients and changes at the Medical Centre and within the NHS.
We attend meetings with the other West Sussex PPGs and the Primary Care Network to keep up to date with what is happening locally with our health services.
We have published a series of articles in the Rudgwick Parish Magazine to give patients a better understanding of the health care system and how to access the best possible services. If you do not receive a copy at home, the Parish magazine is available from local Rudgwick shops and we have copies delivered to the surgery for patient use.
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN JOINING RUDGWICK PATIENT PARTICIPATION GROUP (PPG), EITHER THE FACE TO FACE OR VIRTUAL GROUP ?
The PPG is a group of volunteer patients, carers and GP Practice staff who meet regularly to discuss and improve the services offered at their GP Surgery. It provides a conduit between patients and the Practice, identifying areas for improvement and supporting health awareness initiatives.
The virtual group is for those people who wish to be involved but cannot commit to regular meetings. We will contact you from time to time to ask your views or to share updates and information with you.
IF YOU WISH TO GET INVOLVED PLEASE INFORM THE STAFF AT SURGERY RECEPTION OR EMAIL US AT sxicb-wsx.rudgwick-rudgwick@nhs.net
