Healthwatch Southampton conducted a survey contacting GP practices in Southampton. Throughout April 2017 they contacted each practice and asked whether practices currently operated (or were in the process of establishing) a Patient Participation Group (PPG).
This report documents the findings, including whether these groups met in person or were operated through digital means.
The report included the following two recommendations:

‘Southampton CCG would be very happy to work with Healthwatch to develop a PPG network.’ - Dawn Buck, Head of Stakeholder Relations and Engagement, Southampton City Clinical Commissioning Group.
