Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent PPG Network

The Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent PPG Network is a new participatory group, created by the ICB to help us hear from members of Patient Participation Groups (PPGs).

Patient Participation Groups (PPGs) are generally made up of a group of volunteer patients, the practice manager and one or more of the GPs from a practice. PPGs meet on a regular basis to discuss the services on offer, and how improvements can be made for the benefit of patients and the practice. By creating the PPG Network, the ICB can continue its work to create stronger relationships with Primary Care Networks (PCNs) in our communities – there are currently 142 GP practices in 25 Primary Care Networks across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent.

Membership of the Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent PPG Network is voluntary and is open to anyone who is a member of a PPG in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent. If you are interested in joining the PPG Network but are not yet a member of a PPG, you can ask your GP practice about their PPG and how to join.

if you are interested in joining the PPG Network contact your local PPG.
