PATIENT PARTICIPATION GROUP (PPG)
WHO WE ARE
The Rudgwick Medical Centre PPG was reformed in 2023 to provide a link between the Practice and patients after Covid.
We are currently looking for new members to join both the face to face and virtual groups.
WHAT ARE OUR AIMS
- promoting good relations between the practice and patients
- giving patients information on how they can access medical treatments and services and enabling them to take some responsibility for their own health
- keeping patients informed of changes in medical practice
- to find ways of keeping patients who do not have access to the internet and social media informed and included
WHAT WE DO
We hold regular meetings with the practice and deputy practice managers to discuss matters raised by patients and changes at the Medical Centre and within the NHS.
We attend meetings with the other West Sussex PPGs and the Primary Care Network to keep up to date with what is happening locally with our health services.
We have published a series of articles in the Rudgwick Magazine to give patients a better understanding of the health care system and how to access the best possible services.
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN JOINING RUDGWICK PATIENT PARTICIPATION GROUP (PPG), EITHER THE FACE TO FACE OR VIRTUAL GROUP ?
The PPG is a group of volunteer patients, carers and GP Practice staff who meet regularly to discuss and improve the services offered at their GP Surgery. It provides a conduit between patients and the Practice, identifying areas for improvement and supporting health awareness initiatives.
The virtual group is for those people who wish to be involved but cannot commit to regular meetings. We will contact you from time to time to ask your views or to share updates and information with you.
IF YOU WISH TO GET INVOLVED PLEASE INFORM THE STAFF AT SURGERY RECEPTION OR EMAIL US AT sxicb-wsx.rudgwick-rudgwick@nhs.net

This is a closed group for RMC patients only. If you were a member of the old group, you will need to rejoin this new group. The aim of the group is to continue to deliver the PPG's message and support more patients in a more interactive way. Feedback will be shared with the PM and DPM during the regular meetings. If you are a patient, please join now!
