Friends of Loxwood Medical Practice (PPG)
The surgery has an active Patient Participation Group that was
established in 2003.
The object for which the Group is established is to promote the relief
of sickness and preservation and protection of health for the public
benefit by fostering the highest possible standard of primary medical
care through the medium of patient participation.
The PPG's
intention is to expand new opportunities for patient involvement in
primary care and independently support the Doctors and staff in sharing
and spreading information on conditions of health, prevention and
promotion. It is said that 'a well informed patient is easier to treat'.
Activities that the PPG undertakes include :-
-
A 'Monday' walk for all abilities from Loxwood,
everyone welcome.
-
Providing a library of medical information with books,
videos and pamphlets for loan.
-
Providing talks on specific health matters.
-
Assisting at clinics.
-
Fund raising for equipment required for the practice
nurses or surgery.
For more information on joining the PPG please ask for a
leaflet at the surgery.
