In order to establish effective and successful PPGs, GP practices will require training in the following areas:
- An in-depth understanding of the complexities of PPGs
- How to ensure that the PPG fits into the environment of a General Practice
- Ensuring that the PPG meets the criteria laid down by the Department of Health in order to receive the financial incentives on offer
- The level of voluntary assistance required, and providing appropriate training for volunteers
Enabling Success has established a model of PPG success from which all GP practices will benefit greatly. The purpose of our training package is to guide each participant through the complete process of setting up a PPG, investigating each of the following areas:
- To explore the complexities of Patient and Carer Involvement at national and local level
- To discover the benefits of establishing a Patient Participation Group
- To set up and organise a Patient Participation Group
- To identify factors to ensure sustainability of the Patient Participation Group
- To evaluate learning outcomes
Enabling Success can provide complete and on-going training to both GP practices and their patient volunteers.
