On Thursday 3rd March the Shepperton Patient Participation Group will hold its AGM at 2 pm in the Village Hall. It is open to all patients of the local Practice, since a PPG by definition in-cludes all patients, but this is not an opportunity to gripe and mumble: the PPG exists to support the Practice, and all contributions should be helpful and constructive. Criticism and complaint would both be inappropriate without useful suggestions and contributions (and on that topic a pound or two would not come amiss, the hall has to be paid for and the PPG has no funds for this booking).
You will probably be aware that following the departure of Dr Rogers the Senior Partner of the Practice is Dr Kullar, who is keenly conscious that a number of patients believe, quite wrongly, that doctors are unaware of the difficulties patients have experienced since Covid began, or that doctors disregard issues which patients raise.
This therefore is your chance to be helpful, not to let off steam; people can moan over a pint in a pub, but not in our Village Hall. It is also your chance to get involved in the work of the PPG, to be positive and forward-thinking: the Group needs new blood and new ideas, the Committee needs recruits. Come and put forward both your name and your thinking!
