Please note, as of 30th September, this account is no longer active, as I’ve finished my work with N.A.P.P. It’s been fun, interesting & massively rewarding for the last three & a half years! You can follow N.A.P.P. at @PatientParticip and me at @Paul_BIMLtd

@CEOPatientPart @BMJ_Open Absolutely, as long as the money moves along with services. Much better for patients. #PrimaryCare

The @BMJ_Open article bmjopen.bmj.com/content/8/6/e0… by #SirDenisPereiraGray et al evidences that increased continuity of care by Drs is associated with lower mortality rates. May be a challenge to the move to more “super practices” in #PrimaryCare?

@PatientParticip @patriciawnapp @CEOPatientPart Thank you for sharing your thoughts and the informative interviews. The issues are resonating with us too!

Just in from fabulous @PatientParticip annual conference. Exhausted, but inspired by so many wonderful #PPG #volunteers!

Final packing check before heading to @PatientParticip #Board a day ahead of our annual conference to close #PPGAwarenessWeek!

2/2 Pre-records will also go to Active Services radio, Sussex, Ulster, York, Wales, Hampshire & Isle of Wight. Great discussions about importance of #PPGs in #PrimaryCare!

1/2 @patriciawnapp & @CEOPatientPart just finished a full morning of radio interviews alongside promoting #PPGs and #PPGAwarenessWeek incl radio stations across Hampshire, London, Hertfordshire, Dorset, Swindon, Isle of Scilly, Yorkshire, Scotland, Nottingham, Devon & Kent!...

Early train to #London to spend morning with @patriciawnapp of @PatientParticip doing radio interviews about #PPGAwarenessWeek

@CEOPatientPart @PatientParticip Just getting started on our #PPG Networking Event with @mansfieldcvs @MandAccg @CEOPatientPart @PatientParticip #AVA #PPGAwarenessWeek #PatientPower #PatientInvolvement

@CEOPatientPart @PatientParticip It's great to have you here this evening @CEOPatientPart. Having an event during #PPGAwarenessWeek is a bonus. It's always wonderful to see our #PPG members & learn what is happening around @MandAccg area. @mansfieldcvs #AVA @PatientParticip

@artisans_jw @PatientParticip Delighted to be with @artisans_jw and a group of #PPG volunteers & supporters marking #PPGAwarenessWeek with event to share ideas & best practice! 👏👏👏

It's not too late to register to attend this evening's event at the Civic Centre, Mansfield. See details below. #PPG #PPGAwarenessWeek @PatientParticip twitter.com/MandAccg/statu…

At that exciting (for which read “a little frantic”!) point re prep for Satruday’s @PatientParticip annual conference to mark #PPGAwarenessWeek!

@gaby617903 @CEOPatientPart Very disappointed that the PPG was not involved with #CQCvisit, Gaby. I'd definitely follow @CEOPatientPart's advice & write to the lead inspector. PPGs have vital roles to play in their surgery, bridging patient population wth surgery team & key health msgs. @CareQualityComm

@CEOPatientPart Old Coulsdon cont Saturday 7th July we are doing a PPG promotion at the Village Fair, put on front page of the Newsletter that’s gone out this week, information about what a PPG is; Copies are also left in the two local churches and surgery

@CEOPatientPart Here goes Old Coulsdon MP - display in waiting room with loads of publicity material. Couple of PPG group members are going in to practice during week to talk with patients.going along to the pharmacy shortly as there is usually a stream of patients coming out

@CEOPatientPart Wednesday 6th June, Croydon PPG network, Croydon Hospital, Selsdon Contact, allied health professionals will be holding a health education event about Arthritis and Rheumatism. Hope v much it's as successful as last one

That’s very poor, Gaby - as you know @CareQualityComm is expected to meet with PPGs as well as any patients who want to see them. You could write to the lead inspector (the practice will know who) with feedback - what do you think @CareQualityComm? twitter.com/gaby617903/sta…

Interested in joining yr surgery's patient grp or already a member in Mansfield & Ashfield? Why not come along tomorrow evening; lots of info abt their role within the surgery. See poster below. @MandAccg @PatientParticip @CEOPatientPart #PPGAwarenessWeek #PatientInvolvement

Do tell us about anything your #PPG is doing to mark #PPGAwarenessWeek this year so we can share it too.
