Bottisham Medical Practice

Patient Participation Group

Bottisham patients now have a body to represent their interests to the Practice. A well-attended public meeting at Bottisham Surgery on Thursday 31st March 2011 enthusiastically agreed that the Patient Participation Group should be set up, with many of those attending agreeing to join the group's steering committee. The Committee will hold its first meeting in April to chose its office holders and begin planning the group's activities. Progress will be reported to a future public meeting and to parish magazines, as will information on how to contact Committee members.

This is an important and exciting development for all Bottisham Practice patients, and with the NHS reforms soon to start, it will be essential for patient views to be reflected in decisions on how the reforms are implemented locally. You and your families will be directly affected by these reforms in the months and years to come.

The new Patient Participation Group (PPG) is there to act as your voice and to represent your views to the practice.
