About Us

Preston Park Surgery is a member of the Preston Park Community Primary Care Network with Beaconsfield Medical Practice, The Haven Practice, Stanford Medical Centre and Warmdene Surgery.

What is a Patient Participation Group (PPG)

A Patient Participation Group (PPG) comprises patients, doctors and practice staff who communicate at regular intervals to consider ways of making a positive contribution to the services and facilities offered by the practice to patients.

The Preston Park Surgery PPG has a Committee of about 15 people including doctors, staff and patients who meet quarterly and a Virtual Patient Group (VPG) that communicates online.

The overall aims of the Committee and VPG are to:

  • Improve communication between the practice and its patients
  • Provide practical support for the practice and help to implement change
  • Help patients take more responsibility for their health

A summary of how PPGs make a difference has been produced by the National Association for Patient Participation (NAPP) and is available here HERE

Our Virtual Patient Group

Our Virtual Patient Group (VPG) enables patients to engage with the work of the PPG by participating in on-line discussions, responding to on-line questionnaires, viewing minutes of PPG meetings, etc., from the comfort of their home or mobile!
