A group of volunteer patients, carers and surgery staff who meet regularly to discuss and support the running of the surgery.
Patient Participation Groups look at the services offered, patient experience and how improvements can be made for the benefit of everyone.
Each Patient Participation Group is different, but they all have the aim of making sure that the surgery puts the patient, and improving health, at the heart of everything it does.
Join our Patient Participation Group
All registered patients are able to join our Patient Participation Group. People of all genders, ages, ethnicities, and those with health conditions and disabilities are encouraged to join.
Members should as far as possible, be representative of the surgery population.

The group meets bi-monthly and arrangements are made for members of the group who are not able to attend in person, but feel that they would like to contribute via email or post.
The group aims to represent patients within the practice, and to influence local policy in the Colchester area to ensure that Mersea’s patients are represented in decisions made about health services they use.
