A safe space to share your views
In 80% of GP surgeries in Enfield there is a Patient Participation Group (PPG).
Anyone registered to a GP practice who is over the age of 16, or who is the carer of a patient at the practice, can join.
Joining is an opportunity for patients, carers, and practice staff to meet and discuss practice issues and patient experience to help improve the service.
How to join your GP surgery's Patient Participation Group (PPG)
Contact your GP surgery
1. Go to your GP surgery website and find the PPG joining form. You should also find PPG minutes and date of the next meeting.
2. If the above isn't possible, just pop into or ring your surgery and ask practice staff to add you to the PPG list.

What is a Primary Care Network (PCN)?
The network of GPs that exist in Enfield is called a Primary Care Network. Some GP surgeries offer specialist services and you may be referred to another GP within the network for a blood test, ECG, minor surgery, or a diabetic clinic.
If you join your GP surgery PPG, you will be invited to PCN meetings to discuss how the network can work together more efficiently.
