What is the role of PPG’s?

Enfield PPG network works with all GP practices in the London Borough of Enfield. As such, we play a key role in the workings of a practice as they help ensure patients and their carers can influence their local services.

PPGs support the practice in developing services to ensure the needs and wishes of the patient population are met.

The role of the PPG includes:

  • being a critical friend to the practice
  • advising the practice on patient perspective, providing an insight into the quality of services
  • encouraging patients to take greater responsibility for their own health
  • researching the views of those who use the practice
  • participating in health promotion events
  • regularly communicating with the patient population

At Enfield PPG Network, we are eager to ensure that our patients are actively involved in deciding how the health services we use should develop. To provide our patients with this opportunity to express their views, we have set up a virtual Patient Participation Group.

If you are interested in joining your local PPG, please contact your general practice. If you would like to know more about getting involved with the Enfield PPG Network, please email us at enquiries@enfieldppgnetwork.org.uk.
