Patient Participation Group

Carrfield Medical Centre is in the process of establishing a Patient Participation Group (PPG) to gain the views of our registered patients and ensure they are involved in decisions about the range and quality of the services provided by our practice.

The Role of the PPG is:

• Being a critical friend of the organisation
• Advising the organisation on patient perspective and providing an insight into the responsiveness and quality of services
• Encouraging patients to take greater responsibility for their own and their family’s health
• Carrying out research into the views of those who use the organisation
• Organising health promotion events and improving health literacy
• Regular communication with the patient population

If you are interested in becoming a PPG member, please email us at syicb-sheffield.carrfieldmc@nhs.net with "Join the PPG" in the subject line.

We'd like the PPG to be as representative as possible of our practice population as a whole, so we encourage anyone to join - you don't need any particular experience, training or qualifications, but representatives must:

• Be registered as either a patient or carer of a patient at the organisation
  

• Remain objective, contributing to group discussions appropriately with the patient at the forefront of their mind
  

• Work in a collaborative manner with all group members
  

• Listen to the views of group members
  

• Adhere to the terms of reference for PPG members
  

• Commit to upholding the following seven key Nolan principles of public life:
  

1. Selflessness
2. Integrity
3. Objectivity
4. Accountability
5. Openness
6. Honesty
7. Leadership
