Patient Participation Group

All patients registered with Wateringbury Surgery are eligible to join our Patient Participation Group.

We are a small friendly group looking to find new members. We meet 4 times a year and lookat ways to make a positive contribution to the services and facilities offered by the surgery.

A PPG is an independent body formed to act as an interface between the practice and patient.
