Patient and public involvement is essential in developing, improving and monitoring health and care services.
The Patient Participation and Liaison Group (PPLG) is made up of local people who represent and Chair Patient Participation Groups across Walsall’s 52 GP practices.
The PPLG meets quarterly to support Patient Participation Groups to represent the views of their local communities and influence effective patient and public engagement within GP practices. The meeting is also an opportunity to network and share best practice, ensuring that people’s experiences of GP services are used to improve the health and care of people in Walsall.
