PiP Group: Working With
Patients
The PiP Group ia an active
and important part of the Royal College of General Practitioners,
highlighting patient views and interests. Membership is comprised
of lay and GP members, working together to promote patient
involvement within primary health care, and has been involved in
hosting events focused on providing information and support to
those involved in patient participation.
PiP members are also invited
to sit on other RCGP College committees and working groups, as
well as providing a lay perspective on policy developments and
consultations. In addition the group also provide impartial,
independent advice and assistance to Government, RCGP and other
external health related agencies on issues impacting on the quality
of patient care within general practice.
"The whole idea of a GP-
patient partnership is that you can look at issues and challenges
from different perspectives; and this leads to better
solutions"
