Patient Participation Group Network
The Gloucestershire Patient Participation Group (PPG) Network is organised by NHS Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board (ICB). It provides a space for PPG members to share their experiences and learn from each other, to continue to fulfil an effective role in their practice. It enables PPGs to share their views with the ICB, to shape and influence its work.
NHS Gloucestershire ICB involves PPG members in engagement work and provides support to PPGs on an individual basis. In addition, NHS Gloucestershire ICB hosts a bi-monthly network meeting. PPG members can attend in person, or online using MS Teams.
In the short film below, representatives from PPGs around Gloucestershire describe how they became involved in the PPG at their practice, and share their views on some of the benefits such involvement brings:
