Patient group

We have an active patient participation group at our practice.

Patient Participation Groups (PPGs) are made up of a group of volunteer patients, the practice manager and one or more of the GPs from a practice. PPGs meet on a regular basis to discuss the services on offer, and how improvements can be made for the benefit of patients and the practice.

We aim to contribute to the continuous improvement of the Highlands Surgery service by fostering improved communication between Patients and Practice. We aren’t political or strategic but we do like to be kept informed of changes within the NHS that affect us all, taking the wider view in relation to the delivery of primary care and the commissioning of those services.

We are all volunteers and welcome comments from patients who might not be able to come to our meetings, but would nevertheless like to contribute and/or kept informed via email.

If you would like to be kept informed via email, please let us know at: [email protected].

PPG Chairs email is [email protected].

Our meetings are usually held on the last Tuesday of every month at St Margaret’s Church Hall, Lime Avenue Leigh on Sea, SS9 3PA.
