Patient Participation Group development tool
Our Patient Participation Group (PPG) Development Tool will help existing Patient Participation Groups to think about ways in which they can contribute effectively to the work of their GP practice.
It will help to identify areas which could be improved or strengthened – and enable groups to come up with ideas and solutions – so that the group ultimately becomes more efficient and productive.
Our engagement offices can work through the Development Tool with your group at a level of involvement which meets the needs of group members.

"It surprised us because when the Local Officer came and did it [the PPG Development Tool] we thought, 'oh dear, we’ve really haven’t done anything.' But by the time we’d finished doing it we realised that actually we’d done a lot"
– Sue Kinsey, PPG Secretary, Danestone Medical Practice, Aberdeen
"It provides a useful framework with which to evaluate current practice and progress and assess where are going, potential aims and achievements."
