12. How do I want to be involved? My GP Practice Important to me and my partner/family Important to others Important to the local community

13. So, why do we need to get involved and how can we do this? Joining a patient group can help you discuss issues and ideas and work with your Practice to make services better It is important that your GP Practice has a group of patients it can work with to improve services and share good practice With GP’s having more involvement in buying services they need patients to work with them to tell them what is important. What is working well and what can be improved?

14. So, what is a Patient Group? A Patient Group is Patients working with the practice to: Help themselves and other patients to take more responsibility for their health Provide practical support for the practice Contribute to the continuous improvement of services Varied to suit local needs The activities of each group are determined by the needs of the community and in consultation with practice staff.

15. A Patient Group is…….. Based on co-operation It works by building a relationship between the practice staff and patients that breaks down barriers to communication It enables the sharing of information It can provide opportunities for the group to have input into projects Aware and sensitive It is confidential when needed It communicates widely throughout the local community

16. A Patient Group is not….. A Forum for complaints By providing a channel for communication, a Patient Group can reduce the risk of complaints. Many groups agree to forward concerns to the Practice Manager or the PCT PALS team. Implementation of a pre-determined agenda (the governments or anyone else’s) The independence of the Patient Group is a major strength. They are informally accountable to all the patients in the practice and should therefore take a balanced view of needs.

17. A Patient Group is not….. A time consuming activity for GP Practices Most Patient Groups are self-organising. Many groups undertake activities that help the GP practice staff. New Patient Participation Groups have been around for quite a while with the first one being formed in 1972.

18. What about other Patient Groups? Patient groups are all about patients registered with a practice working together. But what happens if you think an issue affects more than just your Practice or maybe you just want to see what other Patient Groups are doing? Why not ask if you can go and meet another PPG? Look out Networking events!
