Oakham Patient Participation Group Announces Digital Shift and Call for New Members

Oakham Patient Participation Group Announces Digital Shift and Call for New Members



The Oakham Patient Participation Group (PPG) is entering a new chapter in how it connects with the local community. In a move to streamline communications and reach residents more effectively, the committee has announced a transition from its traditional newsletter format to a more dynamic social media presence.

After careful consideration, the PPG committee has decided to cease the distribution of its regular email/print newsletters. Moving forward, Facebook will serve as the primary hub for updates regarding the Oakham Medical Practice and local healthcare initiatives.

This shift allows for more timely updates, real-time community engagement, and a more sustainable way to share vital health information with Oakham residents. To stay in the loop, patients are encouraged to follow the PPG's social media updates for the latest news and medical guidance.

Your Voice Matters, Join the Committee

With this new direction comes an opportunity for fresh perspectives. The PPG is currently looking to recruit new committee members who are passionate about local medical issues and the success of the Oakham Medical Practice.

If you have an interest in healthcare and want to help bridge the gap between patients and providers, the PPG would love to hear from you.

How to get involved:

Contribute to discussions regarding local healthcare services and represent the patient voice.

Interested residents are invited for an informal chat over coffee to learn about what the role involves no immediate commitment required.

To express interest or ask questions, please email the PPG Chair, Barbara Crellin, at barbaracrellin4@gmail.com.

Why Join a PPG?
Patient Participation Groups play a crucial role in the modern healthcare system. By joining, you help ensure that the surgery remains responsive to the needs of the community, offering a platform for constructive feedback and collaborative improvements.
