This week is national Patient Participation Group (PPG) Awareness Week (31st May - 6th June) and we’d like to say a huge thanks to you and your group for helping us to improve health services.
Your feedback is extremely valuable to tell us what’s working well and what we need to improve and we’re lucky enough to have a huge network of local people to engage regularly with, including PPGs and local area patient groups.
PPG Awareness Week aims to promote the role and importance of engaging with PPGs to patients, the public and health professionals.
In celebration of PPG Awareness Week, we would like to extend our thanks to all PPG members across Kent and Medway for your help and feedback during what has been a difficult year.
During the last 12 months, your support has been invaluable in designing services such as:
• End of life care
• Dementia
• Long Covid support
Find out more about how we’ve been engaging with local people in the past year and opportunities to get involved
