Patient Participation Group
The Merritt Medical Centre Patient Participation Group (PPG) is formed of patients from Hook Surgery, and our neighbours in Merritt Medical Centre, Chessington Park Surgery. The group is open to all patients registered at either surgery and exists to contribute to the services provided at Merritt Medical Centre from a patient-centred point of view. These can range from social and educational events to fundraising for equipment for the two surgeries to self-help groups.
Members of the group request and help organise educational events on a particular health topic that they feel is of interest to patients. Previous topics for events have included maintaining a healthy heart, diabetes, child safety, alcohol and drugs, COPD, staying healthy and safe (with the Chessington Safer Neighbourhood Team), men's health and smoking cessation.
