Patient Participation Group
About our PPG and how to join
The Cranborne Practice Patient Participation Group (PPG) is formed of people from a variety of backgrounds, who each bring something different to the group. Its members are volunteer patients who work with the managers and clinicians at The Cranborne Practice and Lake Road Surgery to support and promote the best possible health care for all patients
Our Patient Participation Group works with the Practice to help staff to improve the quality of healthcare and response to patient needs. For more about who we are and what we do, follow this link:>>to our Charter.

Getting Your View
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.
Meetings
Our most recent meeting was 3rd January 2022 and the next meeting is scheduled to take place Friday 10th June at 2 pm. We continue to offer participation via video call to those who prefer it. However we are currently seeking to identify a meeting venue which is accessible, has sufficient capacity and a good WiFi signal in order to reinstate face to face meetings within COVID safety guidelines.
Agendas are published a few days before the meeting date, or email our PPG Chair at cranborneppg@gmail.com for further information.
Minutes of Meetings
We hold our PPG meetings at least every other month: days and times are varied to enable members to attend. Where
face to face meetings are not possible, the Group meets using video call technology.
