For help with how to meet the contractual requirement to establish and maintain a PPG, we advise that GP practices sign up to be a member of the National Association for Patient Participation (NAPP).
NAPP will equip GPs with the resources needed to establish effective PPGs, and support with ongoing questions and issues. It costs £60 for the first year of membership and then £40 for each year thereafter and all the benefits are outlined here. Which includes an online community platform, ongoing telephone guidance on the formation and development of groups and set up guides.
