Patient reference groups (PRGs)
Patient reference groups (PRGs) have been set up by most local GP surgeries. By joining a group, you’ll be able to find out more about the work of your practice and help them to improve their services. For information on whether your GP practice has a group and how to join, please contact the practice directly. Find your local member practice.
Patient reference group network
The Patient reference group network (PRGN) provides an opportunity for practice representatives to come together to discuss issues that matter to them and provide input into the commissioning process.
The group meets up quarterly and is chaired by our Governing Body lay member with responsibility for public and patient involvement. The PRGN encourages a two-way sharing of information between patients, practice reference groups and the CCG.
Patient engagement assurance group
This group helps to make sure that the CCG involves patients, carers and members of the public when they plan, develop and purchase (commission) health services, or in some cases, discontinue services.
The group is chaired by our Governing Body lay member for public and patient involvement. It includes members of the general public, representatives of community and voluntary groups, Healthwatch Kirklees, Kirklees Council as well as CCG staff.
