We are looking for new members to join the committee in the following age ranges:

Students attending 6th form college and those aged 18-45.

This because older ages are currently heavily represented on the committee. We are trying to encourage members in these age ranges to enable us to have representation from a wider age group.

This is a chance to experience being part of a committee as well as contributing to designing of the posters for patient talks and articles for the newsletter. 

The PPG meets every month apart from July & August on either a Monday, Tuesday or Thursday. the meetings start at 6.30pm and are held at the surgery in the meeting room, lasting approximately 1 to 1.5 hours depending on what needs to be discussed. We would like members to attend as many meetings as they can but understand that attending all isn't always possible.

Our PPG talks are held in January, March, June and October and cover a variety subject areas. We are always looking for suggestions for future subjects for talks. Members of the committee attend the patient talks where possible to represent the PPG and to obtain additional email addresses for correspondance on future talks.

If you are interested in discussing further becoming part of the committee please contact us on
