A Patient Participation Group (PPG) was launched in 2013 in Gillingham to enable all patients of the Barn and Peacemarsh surgeries to have a say about services provided by the GP Practice. The PPG is promoted by Gillingham Health Forum in partnership with the GP Practice and NHS Dorset.
The group is a voluntary group aimed at advising the GP Practice on improvements to services; ensuring links are made between patients and the range of local support available and acts as a representative group to be called on to influence decision-making on the provision of health and social care. For more details please use the following link http://www.gillinghamsurgery.co.uk/ppg.aspx.
You can also make direct contact with the chair of the Steering Group: chairgillinghamppg@gmail.com
To join the PPG please see the attachment below. The Terms of Reference provide more detailed background information.
The PPG has also created a list of Local Pharmacy and Medical Services (below for version 6 uploaded on 26/4/2018), a potentially lifesaving leaflet about using defibrillators and where to access them locally in an emergency (version 2 uploaded on 28/9/2016) an extremely useful reminder of how to get the best from your doctor's appointment (version 2 uploaded on 17/1/2017), information about Vitamin D (uploaded on 26/9/2016) and advice on whether you need to see a doctor (uploaded on 17/1/2017).
They produce a newsletter titled "An Apple A Day" - see tab to the left
If you are interested in joining the group please see the online form at http://www.gillinghamsurgery.co.uk/ppg.aspx or paper copies at your local GP's Reception, which can then be handed to the Receptionist.
