Welcome to Burdwood Surgery
About the Patient Participation Group
The Burdwood Surgery Patients Participation Group (PPG) is made up of a number of patients and staff who have volunteered to be members of the PPG.
The PPG acts as a liaison group between you, the patient, and the Doctors and staff of the Practice. Every three months (usually on a Saturday morning) we hold a meeting that lasts about an hour and a half, in a friendly and informal atmosphere here at the surgery. Tea, coffee and biscuits are provided!
We are always keen to welcome new members to our meetings and to capture any feedback you have. We would like to hear what you have to say. Everyone is welcome and together we can make things happen!
If you feel you would rather represent the group without having to attend a meeting, we also have a ‘virtual’ Patient Representation Group (PRG) to run alongside the PPG. Members receive all current PPG information and minutes electronically and from time to time are sent a short mini survey with questions such as what you think about our opening times or the quality of the care or service you received. We will contact you via email, our surveys succinct so it shouldn’t take too much of your time.
Volunteer-Led Blood Pressure Events
Our PPG have been helping run blood pressure clinics at the surgery for our patients. This has helped us get readings for our patients who may have high blood pressure or have no up-to-date readings on their record.
These clinics have proved hugely successful with the patients and the PPG members have enjoyed being more involved with the surgery.
If you would like to help with running these clinics, please contact us online.
