PPG
PPG (Patient Participation Group)
PPG members are patients who have an interest in working in partnership with the GPs and the Practice Manager to understand and inform how the Practice works to provide the best possible standards of care and service.

The Group has an elected chair, Joyce Hatton
The aims, defined by the patient members of the group when it first formed 9 years ago, are:
- To be a representative voice of patients to both the Practice and the wider health community
- To monitor and liaise effectively with the Practice
- To stimulate and support patient-friendly initiatives
- To support appropriate Practice efficiencies
Our group has close links with the Friends of Heavitree Health Centre, Heavitree Parklife and Exeter Primary Care (EPC).
Next Meeting:
11am on 13th December 2024 - Heavitree Health Centre Roseland Room
What does being a PPG member involve?
PPG meetings are held every two months and are open to all of the Practice's patients and/or their carers. Minutes are circulated to all PPG members and published on the Practice website. Some members attend some or all meetings. Other choose to be involved as virtual members by email.
Between meetings the Practice Manager will circulate communications that PPG members may find of interest. These include Practice updates and information from the wider patient involvement community.
If you would like to join the PPG please complete the form and return it by email to jane.shooter@nhs.net or hand it in at reception.
