Our Patient Participation Group is a group of patients of the practice who act as a link between the practice and you, the patient. Its aim is to help us to provide a better service to meet your needs. The Group meets regularly and also holds a number of social events throughout the year. New members are very welcome.

What we are trying to do ?

• Work with the practice to improve patients understanding as to what is available at their GP Practice
• Work with the practice to promote initiatives for the benefit of patients
• Help us all as patients understand how we can improve our health and wellbeing

How we hope to do this

• Provide various opportunities to share your experience as a Riverside patient and / or a carer
• Work with practice staff to plan and promote activities and events, specificially for Riverside patients
• Share information on general health and wellbeing activities in the local area.

How can you help ?

• Register as an RPG Volunteer to be invited to help when we host health & wellbeing activities, get-togethers in local cafes or assist with vaccination days.
