Members are co-opted. If possible the membership should reflect the range of the Practice’s population, including those who are hard to reach or with long-term conditions. The membership should also include people from the various villages served by the Practice.

Currently about six Practice patients meet every 3 months to discuss changes and innovations at the Surgery from the patients’ perspective. The group aims to keep all patients informed of what is happening at the surgery and give feedback to the GPs and Practice Manager. This provides an opportunity for Surgery personnel to discuss issues of concern to patients outside their busy day-to-day schedules.

You don’t need any specialist medical knowledge to join the PPG, and it won’t take up a huge amount of your time. We meet quarterly at the surgery, on a weekday evening, usually at 7pm.

We would particularly like to welcome new members who are under 30, or who have young children, but anyone is welcome to apply. If you are interested, please contact the PPG by emailing

wychwood.reception@nhs.net or by letter to PPG, via the Surgery.

The group would like to contact patients on occasion by email and/or text so that they can obtain the views of the widest group of patients possible. We would like to obtain your email address and mobile phone number to do this. Please complete the Patient Contact Form to provide your consent for this.
